Kirsten Brassard, Gay’s publicist at Groundwood Books, said the episode sends a “hateful message” coming from a public library,

“This proves, as always, that censorship is never about limiting access to this book or that one. It is about sending the message to children that certain ideas — or even certain people — are not worthy of discussion or acknowledgment or consideration,” Brassard told the news outlet.

Preach!

Then it’s a shitty library.

Cataloging is an important job and a real librarian takes it seriously. Whether they create the catalog or get records from somewhere else, it should be triple checked and have hands on it at least twice.

More importantly, we don’t censor or classify/rate books.

The irony of getting your jimmies rustled because you didn’t read the article while claiming others can’t read.

No rustled jimmies here, I just have always held a strong dislike of the South.
