North Dakota libraries are under attack | Velshi Banned Book Club

  • For a young Taylor Brorby, author of “Boys and Oil,” his local North Dakota library was a treasure trove and a safe haven. Young people in North Dakota today won’t encounter the same kind of library. North Dakota libraries are under attack. Last year, two pieces of legislation took aim squarely at libraries and librarians. While just one became a law, the two bills have already done their job. Libraries across North Dakota are self-censoring - choosing not to keep books that could leave them vulnerable. This is just the beginning - for the rest of the nation.

    When libraries were facing huge budget cuts under Reagan and the excuse was lack of funds (that we knew was caused by deep tax cuts/breaks for the wealthy), my mother noted when we stood in front of the closed library “During the Great Depression, the libraries remained open except on Sunday- all day and into the evening. Now we’re closing them down for days at a time so the wealthy can keep more than they can ever spend.” My military GOP dad introduced me to banned books, celebrating education and freedom of thought and speech. SMH.

    Thank you, Mr. Velshi, for highlighting this horrible problem. I escaped bullying and a host of other problems through books as a child. Our branch librarian did guide me, as did teachers in my elementary school, to reading materials. The whole world, and the universe, can be discovered in books

    My grandmother was a librarian.
    You say librarians would go to jail if that law passed. I see my grandmother, in my minds eye. Raised in a Quaker household, on a farm, very straight laced, confused by the world of the 60s sometimes, being arrested, appearing in court, being in JAIL?
    She would find books for me, specially. When I was watching Zoro on TV, she ordered a book from the main library of original stories of Zoro.
    The most outrageous books at that time, that I knew of, were science fiction. My favorite author, Andre Norton, would create and describe characters from multiple ethnicities.
    All the science fiction books in that library took up one tall shelf near the front desk. They were all hardbacks, with plastic protecting their beautiful covers. One of the librarians would repair the covers of those books if they ever became damaged or worn. My grandmother mentioned, once, how those who read those books were so appreciative of her restoring the beauty of those book's covers.
    My grandmother didn't read science fiction. But she and her co workers cared for those sometimes outlandish books sometimes with more care than some other books in the library. Because the small group of people who did read them obviously prized those books and held them in great regard.
    Someone would put people like my grandmother in jail?

    When I was growing up, my town library was my refuge. Not because I was part of a marginalized group, but because I lived in an abusive household. I spent hours and hours after school at the library instead of going home. I would have a particular interest, ask the librarian, and find a book. As a single-digit child, I was able to spend my after school hours reading until I had to go home for dinner. I am appalled that people want to limit the access to books.
    In the 10th grade, I wrote a 20-page essay on censorship. I got an A++ for it. Later, in college, I plagiarized myself and presented it to fulfill an assignment, and again got an A. When the assignment came up, I thought, "Oh, I've already written that." I wish I still had it around.

      I, too, spent many hours in a library reading anything and everything I could get my hands on. I was teased and mocked ruthlessly as an overweight girl, so reading was my escape... and my passion. I preferred the classics such as the Bronte sisters and Louisa May Alcott, but I read everything, including all of Little House on the Prairie and the Paddington series. I'm both saddened and disgusted by groups that wish to strip away the rights of our children to read what they wish to read

    Quote from the Audubon Society website on the Common Grackle:
    "Throughout the east and midwest, this big blackbird is a very familiar species on suburban lawns, striding about with deliberate steps as it searches for insects. Common Grackles often nest in small colonies, and several males may perch in adjacent treetops to sing their creaking, grating songs. Big flocks are often seen flying overhead in the evening, heading for major communal roosts, especially from late summer through winter."

    Don't just take people's word for it one way or the other. Use the device you are currently using to look up images and illustrations from some of the books that are being removed from libraries and judge for yourself if you think it is appropriate for a school library or a young person section of a public library. Check one title for an example, Gender Quee (TH-cam is going to remove my comment if I type the rest of the title, oddly enough), and see if you would approve it for your child.

It is a member of the Tropical family which also includes blackbirds, cowbirds, meadow larks and orioles.

"many" use their local libraries to either have a quiet place to study in peace or to get online. technically you could go to the library, use their wifi for a few minutes and download the "banned books" for free on your phone. which was my whole entire point. a few anecdotal examples of some random kid "allegedly" borrowing 6 books a week arent gonna change that. so to reiterate my point "the loss is symbolic but in actuality this doesnt make a dent"
