Isabela Weiss writes: “Hundreds of people on January 27 protested the termination of the Susquehanna County (Pa.) Library’s administrator and demanded for the protection of LGBTQ+ books. A majority argued that Administrator/Librarian Kristina Ely’s termination was a political move to enable library board members censor books they feel are inappropriate or offensive. On Dec. 16, 2024, the Board of Trustees of the Susquehanna County Historical Society and Free Library Association laid off Ely by a 6–4 vote during an executive session. Their decision sent shockwaves through the board, as several members were absent that day due to illness.”
