"Amy Wilson in the Lexington Herald-Leader has an in-depth story on just what went on when two Lexington, KY librarians library workers were fired for withholding a copy of THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: BLACK DOSSIER from an 11-year-old girl. [...] According to the story, Sharon Cook, 57, above left, and Barbara Boisvert, 62, above right, basically colluded to keep the book out of circulation — Cook, who had become disturbed by the book’s imagery, checked it out for a year, meaning no one else could check it out. However, when an 11-year-old girl put it on hold, Cook was unable to continue her delaying tactic — and Boisvert stepped in, removing the hold, and keeping the book out of circulation. Both were fired for their actions. The Jessamine County Public Library has not commented on what they call a personnel matter."

Anyone wanna be the one to tell these two about LOST GIRLS?

There was a conversation about this earlier here: http://ff.im/bc8Vc Thanks for the update! These two used a method that is advertised among would-be book censors and banners, do their best to make sure a book isn't available to anyone. It really disgusts me.

Yeah, that was funny! I was just reading the comments for this article and saw that someone there mentioned it, too.
