Carri Genovese mentioned that Rep. Yarde is proposing a ban on library use for sex offenders. In an effort to support freedom of information, I suggest writing to your representatives to deny this bill. Allowing access to information, especially for those on the fringes of our community, is imperative. I'm including a link to IN.gov's website, so that you may find your representative.

This is certainly an important matter for libraries and librarians to consider, especially considering the wide and loose definition of "sex offender".
