I probably shouldn't be doing comics about my new library...For they will come & shut it down.
I just presented at N.C. Arts Day. It's a day long event full of arts administrators gearing up to try to convince politicians in Raleigh to prioritize arts education.
The saddest thing I learned is that North Carolina spends less on arts funding per student than Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina!
I'm a foreigner (American) living in Japan. The only thing I can't do here that citizens can do, is vote. And some politicians once started a drive to authorize foreigners to vote. Fortunately, that fizzled out. But my point is, I can go to any library in Japan (and there are many) and borrow ANY book. As far as I know, no book banning occurs in this country. For the most part, it's up to the parents to decide what books a child can and can't read.
Retired librarian here, writing to say Thank You!!!!
