Text from article: There is an organized cultural assault on libraries in America, and the casualties are piling up. Fueled by “parents’ rights” groups like Moms for Liberty, public libraries saw the number of titles targeted for censorship surge 65 percent from 2022 to 2023, according to the American Library Association. Many school librarians have quit, exhausted by harassment and even death threats; during the 2021-2022 school year, 35 percent of districts nationwide had no librarian at all. At one library in Idaho, the situation became so dire that it announced it no longer permits minors on the premises without an adult (or a signed waiver), fearing prosecution under a new state law that levies fines for books deemed unacceptable for children. Though book bans have been a familiar tactic in culture wars, today we’re witnessing an attack on libraries themselves as social institutions. There’s a reason for this escalation: For those trying to move the United States toward a less democratic, more authoritarian model of governance, there is power to be gained by sowing information chaos. Libraries, on the other hand, are free, publicly funded places that exist to clear away the fog of uncertainty by providing patrons with access to primary sources, a diversity of recorded experiences and a calm place to consider them.
