I'm with the banned!

So I went in to get my new library card (my old one was somewhere lost in time) and was thrilled to get one that says "I Read Banned Books" in big letters across the front with red flames that reference historic book burnings! I wonder if governor Ron DeSatan knows that Broward County is giving him the middle finger....

Always put banned books up front. Fiction I read, sale back, get more.

I got it at a gay pride event.

My oldest daughter is a library administrator who fears for her job.

...people generally appear remarkably normal. I wore a "Bernie '16" tee shirt to the nazi frequented barbershop near my house in very red Edgewater and got friendly smiles and a couple fist bumps from the geriatrics there. Kind of surprising, actually.
