Libraries are so important as a source of information for the community. Criminalizing books that are vital resources for children just because they have LGBTQ+ content is crazy.

Hopefully the librarians can win this battle.

EDIT: The title was auto copied from NBC News, and I don't think "explicit" is the right word, removed it from the title.

I love Libby and Kanopy so much! Also Hoopla but my local libraries don’t have as much on there that interests me. Some libraries also have seed libraries for gardeners, tools to borrow, 3d printers to rent, free passes to local museums, etc! I love them so much. I can’t afford to buy nearly as many books as I want to read every year so they enable my hobby to be affordable and accessible.
