What displaced people desperately need it is knowledge and information, and that's what public libraries do.

I feel that this is a potential disaster on several levels. They are reducing scholarly texts to paragraphs. The point of a scholarly text is they are written to be read sequentially from beginning to end, making an argument and engaging you in dialogue.

It's appalling -- it's really astounding. Only 31 percent of college graduates can read a complex book and extrapolate from it. That's not saying much for the remainder.

There is a failure in the core values of education. They're told to go to college in order to get a better job -- and that's okay. But the real task is to produce educated people.

That's not saying much for the remainder.

That kind of local information is unique. So putting it online and making it available to the public -- it's invaluable.

Most libraries don't go back that far (1818). You're going to have at least four generations there.

We are troubled by what seems to be an accelerating trend in increased restrictions on access to government information.

Individuals and communities need to be able to find high-quality, accurate information about issues that concern them, such as the health and safety of their families and communities.

My exes all got houses.

It all stems from a fearfulness of well-meaning people. We believe in parental responsibility, and that you should take care of what your children are reading. But it's not your responsibility to tell a whole class of kids what they should read.

If you're a freedom-to-read person, pulling a book like that one is not that different from any book that might have fake scholarship. No matter how wrong a book might be, people should have access to it. It's a slippery slope once you start removing books like that.

A lot of people were worried that challenges would go up under President Bush, but the highest numbers were during the Clinton administration. I think that came from resentment among conservatives that Bill Clinton was president. You had the whole thing about gays in the military. You had people who believed that somehow Clinton was not a legitimate president.

It's a perpetual problem, and it attacks fundamental American liberties -- the attempt to impose one's own positions on society as a whole.
