The Douglas County (Nev.) Library Board of Trustees voted 3–2 August 25 to approve a $30,000 investigation into the library’s director, Amy Dodson, and staff regarding their proposed support for the Black Lives Matter movement. County Sheriff Dan Coverley responded to the proposed support with a letter suggesting that his agency would no longer respond to emergency calls at the library, which led to protests and counterprotests. Dodson said in an August 28 interview that her personal opinions had nothing to do with the proposed agenda item, and that the initial intent was regarding a social movement, not a political one.
