Local libraries across the US are facing pressure for having books related to racial justice and LGBTQ+ themes. In this week’s episode, journalist Claire Woodcock walks us through one situation in Jamestown Township, MI that ended with the town voting to defund its library. As Claire explains, a version of this story is playing out across the country and could have huge consequences for libraries as a public institution and on the communities they serve.
