Libraries used to be a "safe space" for me. If I was stressed, popping in and browsing through books was weirdly calming. That has been utterly destroyed for me.

I lost all my joy in libraries after that abuse. All of it. I don’t attend events nor even talk to a couple of the employees. It’s over but getting books. After my abuse I picked up my materials outside on a cart for 6 months. . Even during the winter. I refused to enter.
Same, Permie. I lived in our local library when my kids were younger - we could spend hours there. Then the whole COVID thing hit, masks slipped (or were applied) and now the trans agenda is in full gear. And I'm in a small, upstate NY town.

Another joy taken from us...but "Amnesty." Uh, NO.
