Adrienne Pettinelli has described in her personal reflection, The Day the Book Banners Came for us,” a too familiar experience that many are having to endure in today’s political climate. Pettinelli’s article related how social media can cause discord for public libraries. Pettinelli, in her article, provides solutions, based on her recent experiences, on how to answer concerns about books on social issues. Her article is a must read for, not only librarians and educators, but for everyone.
