When librarians are caught up in a national book-banning craze | GUEST COMMENTARY


I recently watched “The Librarians,” the documentary directed by Kim A. Snyder about the ongoing nationwide book-banning fiasco. Parts of this documentary and the testimony of the librarians made me sick to my stomach. The documentary links book-banning efforts to Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s Red Scare and to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels’ burning books by Jewish authors. This document requires media specialists to complete extensive documentation for new items, ensuring that they adhere to selection, evaluation and, if applicable, sensitive content policies. The question really boils down to “How do we stop this overreaching control and repression?” This isn’t just a book-banning issue.
