NORRIS: Never stole books

| December 31, 2023 1:00 AM

Someone shouted out an insult against the sheriff at the last Community Library Network board meeting. The word-warpers (those who twist words to mean things they were never intended to mean) and societal destroyers have been up to their usual tactics. They’ve loudly and publicly smeared the sheriff, saying he had stolen or had possession of stolen library books. I gave those people ample opportunity to set the record straight, but they haven’t.

The books the sheriff had (in order to warn parents/demonstrate sexually explicit material kids might come across in the minor’s sections of our libraries), were given to him by another community member who had checked them out but not returned them.
