She writes again.
My beloved wife, SWMBO, has some thoughts on her mind.
I turn it over to her.

I just read a long article about book banning in schools and small town libraries around the country. (USA)
It scares me to consider that that might come to my town. But it could. I live in a very conservative area of the country.
When I was very young, my grandmother took me to the local library, where her cousin Nellie ruled. She showed me around the whole place, then to the children's books. When I left that wonderful place that day I was the possessor of a brand new library card with my name on it and four books. Four books I could keep and read for two whole weeks! I was rich!
My life has been enriched beyond measure by libraries wherever I have lived. The idea that a few radical operatives could start deciding what I can and cannot read makes me afraid for my country.
I hope it does scare you too!
