GORDON, REBECCA
- Abstract
The article discusses the threat that public libraries are facing under the Trump administration and the rise of MAGA Republicanism. It highlights the increase in book banning attempts in recent years and the connection to conservative ideologies. The author argues that public libraries are a benign institution that provides free access to books, information, and a safe space for individuals. The article also mentions the historical development of public libraries, including the role of Andrew Carnegie in funding many libraries. It concludes by discussing current efforts to restrict libraries and the importance of protecting them from censorship and closure.
