The Facebook post featured was written by Nisa Kesseler, Tween/Teen Services Librarian at the Petoskey District Library.
It is an emotional, overwrought attack on the concerned taxpayers who spoke up and showed up at last Thursday's library board meeting. The taxpayers who, rightfully, complained about the over-politicized, age-inappropriate materials and activities and staff-picked books that are constantly being pushed on the public without any opposing viewpoint being presented. That there's input and pushback on some of the decisions the library leadership is completely responsible for, is how this ideal called "consent of the governed" works.
Judge for yourselves if you would describe the comments made at this meeting as "vile" and "hateful."
