#Louisiana #librarians are getting death threats. When they quit (with reluctance, grief, PTSD), their #libraries can't replace them, because the libraries are still in Louisiana.

@petersuber No one worried about closing prison libraries. Are we free? I think not, if we were ever it was brief.

@petersuber god, that's horrifying

CyBear,

@petersuber keep misreading it as libertarians rather than librarians.

LalaKron,

@petersuber @RickiTarr What if we armed librarians? Normally I’m anti-gun, but I enjoy the thought of a quiet librarian pulling out a double barreled shotgun. What kind of monster threatens to kill librarians? (Rhetorical) Someone very very mad that there’s too many words and some of them are sexy.

JStatePost,

🥥 One could make the case that the US is the dumbest country on the planet.
And this hostile treatment meted out to libraries and their staff could be admitted as evidence.

petersuber,

@Gaythia
You're right! Thanks. I just fixed it. I'm so used to posting this kind of news about Florida libraries.
