Self-Appointed Censor at Tennessee Library

Posted by birdie

According to the Daily Herald, someone has been crossing out dirty words in books, and employees at the Maury County (TN) Library aren’t happy about it.

“It bothers me because nobody is holding a gun to their head making them read these books,” said Elizabeth Potts, director of the county library. “If they don’t like them, they should just return them.”

Library Director Elizabeth Potts shows one of several books which have had “dirty” words marked through. Others have editorial comments added.
