@hauntedhideaway @jeffjarvis We have a #RightToRead kind of group, I think soon to be officially named Community Library Network Alliance, that is dedicated to doing exactly this, showing up at Board of Trustees meetings to speak in support of public libraries inclusive policies, etc. There is definitely a growing and coordinated (political action templates executable at local levels) effort by far right conservatives against libraries, and attacking library funding.
This was us at the last meeting last week!
