Promoting John Kerry @ the Library

August 7th, 2004

I never get political on LS (and don’t intend to now - my friends and acquaintances know where I stand on most issues), but this seemed interesting enough to post here. Apparently, a patron in Monroe County, Indiana saw anti-Bush and pro-Kerry materials displayed at his local library and wasn’t thrilled (his blog description is “leaning to the right in a left leaning town”). So, he wrote a letter to the acting director. The end of his letter says:

“I would respectfully request to be informed of Monroe County Public Library policy in regard to the posting of political commentary in public areas of the library, and would welcome the opportunity to sit down with yourself or other appropriate individuals to voice my concern.”

Should make for some interesting reading if Library Journal, ALA, or the local media gets a hold of the story.
