Last Wednesday my library's banned book display got taken down twice

I work part time at a small library in Ohio and we put up a display for Banned Books Week. Some guy complained to the manager about it showing 'Lolita' and 'The Handmaid's Tale' near the kids section. They made me take it down and replace it with a fall decor setup. Then another patron put the books back up on the counter and left a note saying 'keep fighting.' That whole week was just back and forth chaos.

Libraries should just let adults read what they want.

My local library had a whole section of romance novels behind the counter you had to ask for. Made me wonder what else they were hiding back there.
