Library Advocacy Headline of the Day

Chicago Tribune, 12/17/2014

The 5 contenders for 2 seats:

• Christian Barcelona.  The Internet policy dispute made him do it.  ("The library is a place where children come to learn, and I don't think there should be any chance they'd be exposed to adult material.") 
• Charles Jason Kaple.  "It's a very emotional issue that needs to be looked at rationally.  I'm a very strong believer in First Amendment rights, but whether that means they did all they could to prevent the things we all want to prevent, I'd need more information."
• Salvatore LoMonaco.  "Orland Park is a community that's very family-oriented, and I want to see it stay that way.  But I want to see what the issues really are, what solutions they explored and see if perhaps I can give some common-sense ideas."  (Retiring Guy notes that he's frequently seen that underlined adjective of late.)
• Joanna Leafblad.  (Not quoted.)
• Joshua Rogers.  (Not quoted.)
