In 2023, the Ottawa Public Library was asked to remove seven books from its stacks.

Complaints covered everything from alleged racism or promotion of hatred to reports of inaccurate information or objectionable content.

‼️ The library took no action on any of the complaints.

@jd Whenever I see this I always think of the time my wife was reading a book on nutrition during pregnancy from the Ottawa library. Fine enough book, but the last chapter delved into a ton of problematic information on vaccination! My first thought was “There’s no way this sort of stuff should be in the library”, but my second was “Wait, did I just suggest banning a book?”.
