Librarians are socialists and liberals to nearly 100% no surprise there. They also have a lot of autonomy in deciding what books to buy.

And the fact that people from the Middle East would have more room to maneuver in discussions about racism without being accused of racism is hardly surprising.

Surely not all librarians are socialists, but e.g. this one appears to be of the more fact-resistant kind, and comes up with repeatedly different and increasingly funny explanations for why the library shouldn't get a bestseller book. The latest one is "it's not fact-checked", as if the other books in the library (like the mentioned Mein Kampf) were.

Of course - I'm generalizing. My point is that the opinion of librarians aren't representative of the public discourse.
