Congratulate Librarians
“I want to congratulate
librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful
political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country,
have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to
remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to
thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.
So
the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the
Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the
media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public
libraries.”
―
Kurt Vonnegut,
