A year after we spoke to public librarians in the RoI about their experiences (Resisting hate & navigating agitation: Perspectives & voices of public library staff & librarians against reactionary responses to LGBTQ+ materials), the story sadly continues in Northern Ireland tinyurl.com/44bhpcn3

Excellent piece, @cathalmccauley.bsky.social, and thank you for signposting our recent report on Resisting Hate and Navigating Agitation - our findings also troubled us, and these recent developments are extremely distressing. You are correct - this is a truly global issue that affects us all.
I’m generally pleased when something I write comes out but it’s very sad that I had to write this and the Trump administration’s attacks on libraries have intensified since I submitted it.

Dismayed, but sadly not surprised to read this - it reflects the findings from our own public libraries study, which we published last November ("Resisting Hate & Navigating Agitation: Perspectives & Voices Of Public Library Staff & Librarians Against Reactionary Responses To LGBTQ+ Materials").
Librarians in UK increasingly asked to remove books, as influence of US pressure groups spreads
Anecdotal evidence suggests a rise in requests to take books off shelves, particularly LGBTQ+ titles
