WEST BEND - A march, read-in and
potluck supper will be held Friday to show support for the
West Bend Community Memorial Library and to oppose efforts
to restrict certain books now in the Young Adult section of
the library.
The event is being organized by West Bend resident Jacob
Jurss, a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
using the Facebook social networking site on the Internet.
The event has garnered support from the citizen group
West Bend Parents for Free Speech, which arose in recent
months to counter efforts by another citizens group to
remove and restrict access to certain books that contain
sexual references now offered in the young adult section.
