The library, if all is normal, is government owned and paid for by the taxpayers. It has NO RIGHT to censor what can be read in this way. People who want to read the book pay taxes too and thus pay for the library and the staff!

I was going to say...aren't libraries federally funded?
-
Public libraries are mainly funded locally w/property taxes. Some state funding and many states have grants that the library can apply. There are also other private grants many libraries apply. They also take donations and often have friends of the library groups that fundraise.

I have three questions: 1) It’s Bob Woodward’s book. He’s a renowned author and has been writing about presidents since Nixon. Did this library carry any of those other books beginning with “All The President’s Men”?
-
2) What is their collection development policy (each library should have one) and how does it treat purchases and donations of literature and other media, current and historical?
-
3) What will they do with all the donations of “Fear” they’re about to receive for circulation to their patrons?

Trustees of Morgan County Public Library in Berkeley Springs, WVa,said Fri afternoon by phone that the town library will carry Woodward’s “Fear” The library board did not know the library director had refused to accept a donated copy of “Fear” until the issue was raised in media
-
Maybe it's time to (a) review library book protocol, and (b) get a new director.

I’m almost more shocked to find out WV (aka Trumpistan) even still has libraries.

Uh, yeah. That is why we keep pushing to get him out. Who do they think they are protecting. As a self-proclaimed conservative, I am disgusted by this president.

Maybe someone should create a “little library” nearby, full of Bob Woodward’s books!
-
Great idea. It might open some minds.
-
They can’t read so...maybe if they made it into a reality tv show?
-
And then...they could run for President!
