When BSA rebranded & let girls in, they did a subtle smear campaign against GSUSA. I argued then (and maintain) reasoning behind this was a) numbers b) wmn carrying the burden. Many den moms can't do GS and BS so this was an avenue for a mom to support all their kids in scouting w/less driving/time

Does your library/Libby have access?

Yes! (one bible belter to another). When my last library started being open on Sundays, also got pushback, but the numbers spoke for themselves - heavily used. Same w/ Veterans Day, we monitored amount of folks who tried to come in, and was enough for the Board to see the need and vote for opening.

This is a particularly painful (and true) observation: “The current proliferation of AI that we see particularly in the library and education spaces would not be possible at the speed and scale that is happening without the precedent of book bans leading into it."— @maggietokudahall.bsky.social
