Petition to Montgomery County Commissioners Regarding the Montgomery County Library policies and membership in the ALA
Sign Now
To the County Commissioners: I support the importance and necessity of the Montgomery County Memorial Library System maintaining affiliation with the American Library Association. I support the current method of book selection used by the Montgomery County Memorial Library System. I believe the library director and his/her staff should have ultimate authority to interpret and apply the selection process. I do not want Commissioners Court to dictate the selection and management of the library collection.

I do not wish to have some homophobic religious groups dictate what books me or my children may read.

I stand by the good judgment of the American Library Association to make the proper book selection for our libraries. I support the above statement.

Leave the library alone, already! It's time you realize that your values are not necessarily the values of most library patrons, if not the county itself.

A library is a source of knowledge,comfort,and enjoyment for many people. If the library does not keep up with the changes and problems of it's surrounding society How can it continue to educate and comfort?

Leave the library system alone please. It is being handled very well and there are so many things that beg the Commission's attention.
Thank you

I am tired of the "Religious right" and judges that want to use their personal ideas to prescribe and decide what is right for me. I believe in freedoms of ALL kinds in regards to expression, written materials and ideas. How would this world be if we allo

I strongly support the current method of book selection for our libraries. The Commissioners should spend time and energy on other important business of MC!

This is a travesty. There are two,main, non-religious or political reasons why this cannot happen.1> The presumption that a majority of people in this county think this way is a BOLD FACED LIE! I have worked in the medical field in this co. for 12 years,

Parents should take responsibility for their children's choices, library censorship is not the solution.

The librarians are NOT aliens! Most of them live in M.C., send their kids to M.C. shools, attend church in M.C. They are NOT out to distroy M.C. They are educated profesionals trying to carry out their job discriptions as their contracts stipulate. We the

Political decisions that ban books from public libraries puts us on a path to dictatorship. Parents not politicians are responsible for the books our children read.

Public libraries are for all people and need to provide a wide variety of materials covering all subjects. Do not allow the RLC and their supporters to tell me what I may and may not access at my public library. My tax dollars speak just as loudly as the
