Kids can’t even read a cursive note let alone a book cover to cover.

Berlin in the 30’s is only a match away…

Oh no?

God bless librarians, especially school librarians. They work hard, under increasingly difficult circumstances, to get kids to enjoy reading. Most of them are saints.

Heard they fired a teacher who had kids doing research of former First Ladies on the internet, something about the one on the porn sights that most parents blocked

Kids can’t be exposed to nudity of any kind, it will warp their little minds. But they need to be constantly reminded that they can be killed anytime, anywhere, no place safe, by some yahoo because their dear parents loves their big guns more than them…

Well done Jen! Now to bolster the ’toon the RW commenters will show up and vent their spleen that someone, somewhere, read something without their approval.

Sears and Penney’s are breathing sighs of relief that they no longer mail out catalogs with those pornographic sections showing women’s undergarments.

Heroes, every one.

Muddy Waters may have burnt down a library.

“It was a pleasure to burn.”

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury

James 2:24

surprised some of these states haven’t banned their citizens from traveling to Italy or Greece where they may be exposed (pun intended) to nude statues…

I’m sure there are “innocent” 16-yr-olds, somewhere.

Shoot the messenger.

Any intellectual will be on the fascist President Trump-Republican hit list if they win.

Glad I am old. I don’t want to see the nation these magats are pressing toward.

Dear Librarians: Thank you for your service and bravery in the support of Freethinkers everywhere

Here’s to Mrs. Haney, the librarian in the town my family lived in when I was in junior high and high school. Aside from believing that anyone should be able to read anything, she smoked, drank, and swore. That’s what I call a role model.

Librarians are heroes. Unless they are like the one from the animated series “Moral Orel”.

Hah, hah!

I once wandered into the American Library Association’s national convention. Militants they are not!

Let us talk about that second one. These same people would have no qualms about censoring those images on the school’s internet.

Our local library reacted to these anti-literature campaigns by starting a Banned Books Reading Group. We ensure that more folks are reading these dangerous books.

Aw man — looks like the kids are gonna have to start doing what I did back in 1970, if I wanted to read a “questionable” book. Shoplift it and hide it under their mattress!

Libraries are like dating. You can ogle and flirt with a novel, without any commitment to find shelf space for it at home.— Conrad McDonald

Librarians are like crack dealers when it comes to hooking small children.— Spider Robinson

“People can lose their lives in libraries. They ought to be warned.”— Saul Bellow

Librarians are the secret masters of the world. They control information. Don’t ever p!ss one off.— Spider Robinson

“Ultimately, if you have a worldview that can be undone by a novel, let me submit that the problem is not with the novel.”— John Green, On the Banning of Looking for Alaska
