Everything is online these days. Libraries, and librarians, like kerosene lamps and horse-drawn carriages, are on the fast track to the dustbin of history. Ideally, geographic units should have one storage facility and local libraries should be nothing more than a small office where requests for books are made and the books delivered are picked up. Even that is really irrelevant these days.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I'm not really sure being banned by one insignificant library really counts.

it probably doesn't really COUNT, but I think it's notable because it makes such little sense
