I stand with Palestine, and the rare spaces our public can spend time and educate themselves. Genocide is depressing. Hurting books makes me sad.

    Well, vandalising libraries with left-leaning messages might be the only way certain people will actually care about defending libraries, so there’s that benefit. Sadly, those people will only help by donating books written by convicted con-artists and conspiracy nuts.

    Please tell me someone can clean up the pillar grafitti. They misspelt Freedom and it hurts to see such an error in a library.

      They didn’t mispell freedom. They correctly spelled freedoon. Which isn’t a word. But I like to look at things in a positive light.

        I like to think half of the last letter is cut off and it’s “free doom,” which is, disgustingly, what kids in Palestine are getting.
