They searched the library’s catalog for words like “gay” and “transgender” to ban books.

    But the city commissioners continued their crusade against the library. At an April meeting, Commissioner Gerard Kleinsmith said that his goal was to terminate the library’s lease due to LGBTQ+ books in its collection. “If they want to have their library, so be it. Go do it. Find another building to do it in,” Kleinsmith said, according to the Kansas Register. “I will not ever vote for any taxpayer money, facilities, anything to be used anywhere that houses this kind of garbage.”

    Sure, go ahead morons. Close the library. See what the voters, especially the poor ones you rely on, feel once they can’t do things like get movies for free and access the internet.

    There was another library that got closed down by these idiots not too long ago, and in order to do it, they had to do it inside the library because it was the only place in town with a meeting room large enough.

    Even they need the library.
