The League Of Extraordinary Librarians Continues

The Jessamine County Public Library that fired two library employees for restricting the loan of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier, and who invaded one customer's privacy in doing so is currently engaged in a massive shutting-the-stable-door exercise.

After a high-profile pub;ic meeting full of petitions, claims and counter claims, The Black Dossier, along with a number of other graphic novels, is being recataloged to the adult section of the library.

Of course the trouble concerning the Black Dossier was around a girl who requested the book rather than found it on the shelf – as it was kept out on permanent loan by now-dismissed librarian Sharon Cook.

The Lexington Herald Leader quotes Cook as saying "It would appear that the library is trying to soothe its tax base by moving the graphic novels… This is a situation that already exists in other libraries and so is not a new nor creative solution. This very simple solution is one step in the right direction. We can hope that this is the first step in JCPL being more responsive to its tax base."

No taxation without obsfucation, apparently.
