2,000 miles away from Idaho, there is a group working to create more access to controversial books, books that continue to be at the center of controversy in Idaho.
“We have three libraries in New York City. We have the Brooklyn Public Library that covers just the borough of Brooklyn. All 2.7 million of us here in in Brooklyn,” Chief Librarian for the Brooklyn Public Library, Nick Higgins said.
The Brooklyn Public library serves a New York Community that has more people than the entire State of Idaho. The team at the library is not just concerned about their community, but also readers across the country who are seeing books banned from local libraries because of controversial content.
