Very true, I tried to get some Nancy Drew books for a kid the other month, and they have been pulled from our libraries due to “racism.”

Say what?

I'm speechless! Fire the librarian who pulled those books from the shelves. Where did she get her MLS?

At my library we have reprints of the original Nancy Drews, the ones that were published in the late 20s early 30s. Yes, they are racist, but they are also a product of their times. Just like Gone with the Wind. Does your library still have that? Good grief. That's one library that should close.

This librarian was surprised and sympathetic. She didn’t pull them from the shelves herself. The higher ups ordered it.
