Subject: banned book week and library censorship
As a librarian and a Chatham County tax payer, I am terribly sad that our new community library in Chatham County has censored art and prose. This is blatant disrespect for our first amendment rights.
Especially during banned book week when libraries around the world celebrate the freedom to read.
Banned Books Week

Is this the direction we want our county officials to take our library and education system?
