GET ME REWRITE: Library and city officials in rural Rice County, Kansas help to accelerate population loss

The lawsuit was filed by former librarians Kari Wheeler and Brandy Lancaster, as well as library patrons Samantha Corwin and Audra Asher, both of whom are neurodivergent. The defendants are the board of directors of the Sterling Free Public Library, the city of Sterling, Mayor Bob Boltz and library board members Michelle Miller and Lindsay Wilson. 
The library board on July 5 voted to fire Wheeler, who was the library director, and Lancaster, who was a library aide and assistant librarian, telling them only that they had lost the board's confidence. The vote came about two weeks after alleged anti-LGBTQ sentiment on the library board erupted over a display.
