This is true here. I don't use the library much because 
they don't often order books I read. The general 
population wants fluffy fiction, so that's what they 
serve. All controversial books conveniently "disappear" 
from their holdings, no doubt incinerated in someone's 
burn pile.

But they provide good kid's programs and Internet access, 
and a charming location for community building so we 
always help them raise money. They get almost nothing from 
the government.
