Book banners LOVE to say they just want pornography out of school libraries.

They're lying.

Village library leaders have added their voices to the chorus of complaints about delayed and sporadic distributions of Cook County property tax revenues, saying the situation has drained their reserves, making it harder to hire or buy new books.

Public libraries are such an established institution that we take them for granted, enjoying the friendly staff, entertaining and educational programming, and getting any and all reference questions answered.

One aspect of libraries that I really love is that they are great equalizers as entities that protect all Americans’ right to freedom of information.

Whether it’s the books on their shelves, the classes on the calendar, or support for utilizing any of their services, libraries want everyone — and they mean everyone — to be able to partake equally of all they have to offer.
