People donated more than $15,000 to the library system, which will be matched by the city, providing $30,000 for LGBTQ programming
I hate that it was needed, but it’s beautiful to see a community come together to support something so important.
They returned the books. I guess they realized that it would constitute as theft, and decided not to get arrested over it. Or they have no backbone. Who knows.
I think they just realized their stunt backfired and holding onto the books was no longer going to accomplish anything.
I mean what were they going to do? Read?
Reading? And risk gaining empathy for other human beings? What do I look like, someone who’s woke?
Reading is for damn libruls!
Por que no los dos?
Amazing
This is the kind of story that simultaneously frustrates me and gives me hope.
Anti pride protestors
So bigots.
…despite the vows set for in the threatening email, the checked-out books have been returned.
Hopefully those returned books are being examined for vandalism before going back onto the shelves. Wouldn’t be too big of a stretch to imagine that people petty enough to try and keep the books out of circulation might find other ways to be assholes.
Sell the books for an infinite money glitch
