I mean, if George Soros or the Koch Brothers want to fund a chain of libraries, then perhaps they can be hubs and platforms for whatever flavor of social justice that their funding demands. But municipal libraries are a public resource funded by taxpayers, and as such, all taxpayers deserve to benefit equally from such a resource, regardless of who they vote for, or who the librarians vote for. Carrying extremely biased, social-justice oriented events and collections in a municipal library is an exclusionary practice. It repels and alienates those with different beliefs, and thus reduces community diversity by cleaving off a large portion of taxpayers who have no use for this resource that they're supporting, thereby causing an imbalance and inequity in access to information and community resources. |
