A ransom note, copied word for word from a template from a Catholic organization, was sent to the Rancho Peñasquitos Branch Library after two women followed the instructions of an anti-LGBTQ+ organization and checked out every potentially queer or trans book they could find. It backfired.

Good. The right answer to any of this book banning, or complaints, or checking out the books to not return them, etc. is to make them all more available than they were before. Use it to do the exact opposite of what these people are trying to accomplish.
