stormdogBook burnings? In my country? It's more likely than you think. (Actually, it doesn't surprise me, unfortunately.)
I just contacted this library to offer to pay for a replacement book or, if as many people have already offered to do that as I think probably have, to instead buy and donate an additonal LGBTQ-friendly children's book to the library. Maybe you could do the same, or even donate such a book to a library local to you in solidarity.
It is important to me to let people doing what I feel is good work know that they are supported.
(The article is about a religious zealot burning library books in front of the library, likely as a protest against an event in which drag queens read to children.)
