Link to May 27 GM Today article, "West Bend Library supporters plan march, 'read-in'".Excerpt: A march, read-in and potluck supper will be held Friday to show support for the West Bend Community Memorial Library and to oppose efforts to restrict certain books now in the Young Adult section of the library.
The event is being organized by West Bend resident Jacob Jurss, a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, using the Facebook social networking site on the Internet.
The event has garnered support from the citizen group West Bend Parents for Free Speech, which arose in recent months to counter efforts by another citizens group to remove and restrict access to certain books that contain sexual references now offered in the young adult section.
