<div>Fortunately, Karen, many of us do NOT agree with your far-right ideologies. We are not being forced into this. We are not being uncourageous because of what we believe in.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We believe that libraries are a place of inclusion and diversity, and that unfortunately, work is needed to ensure that those are a cornerstone of being a public library. It should not be a leftist ideal to want to eradicate
racism in our communities and libraries, and it should not be a leftist ideal to believe that libraries are a place of inclusion and diversity.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've seen your facebook page and the 'ideals' you spout. And in that, I am very grateful you don't work in my local public library.
