I've worked in public libraries for almost 30 years and in the last 10 years or so, there's been a push by the 'library gods' as I call them, to move away from being neutral places to the belief that "libraries can no longer neutral" and librarians must be activists. Take a wild guess what we have to be activists for? It really picked up when Trump became president and it's just gotten worse in the last 3 years. I'm near retirement so I just shake my head in disbelief at the things going on. I'm in the distinct minority and if I say anything it's basically ignored. Sigh.
"Obsolete, obsolete.." 🤣 fuck'n twilight zone.
