This week is National Library Week, largely sponsored by the American Library Association. Public libraries have a long and for many years a very good history in America. However, the ALA has gained incredible influence and encourages such activities as Drag Queen Story Hours in public libraries, defends offensive and inappropriate books being available even in children’s and youth sections of libraries, and champions diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Sadly, libraries are no longer the safe places they once were for families and children. But concerned Wisconsin citizens can make a difference. Every public library in our state has a board of trustees that includes appointed citizens. This week would be a great time to find out the process in your municipality and request to be considered for an appointment to the local library board.
