Re: “Don’t stand by as books are banned; stand up for libraries” [Aug. 25, Opinion]:
Kudos to Washington State Librarian Sara Jones and her cogent protection of libraries.
Their important position as cornerstones of democracy can by no means be denied. Unimpeded entry to myriad books and knowledge is essential to a free and literate society requiring an clever citizenry able to clear and significant thought.
Self-appointed guardians of propriety who would ban books and impose their parviscient views on others should be confronted and their bigoted machinations soundly defeated.
It’s outrageous that the individuals of Columbia County are being threatened with the lack of their valuable library. That great useful resource should be preserved and its librarians — and devoted librarians in all places — should at all times be supported and defended.
