> This is a perversion of the phrase "book banning". Choosing not to have certain books in libraries, or in the kids section of libraries, is not "book banning".
Yes it is. It is by the dictionary definition of the two words 'banning' and 'book' to be banning books, from a library. You are wrong.
Yes. But the majority of the community seems to be explicitly against the removal of these text from the library. It is an extremely small and loud group of traditional Catholics whose stance on this is unpopular even among other catholics in the community.
Interesting; other commenters here were blaming evangelicals. I wonder what the evidence is for it being one or the other group, or if people just have their favorite groups to demonize.

Only 1 person mentioned evangelicals. And they said they were speaking about their experience. Not the Samuels Public Library.
I did research
