Oh, wow, that case of school library censorship, and the apparent targetting of an individual librarian, is dreadful. Amongst my many strong reactions I note that the book We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was given to every 16 year old schoolchild in Sweden because it's considered so very very appropriate. And the removal of a Discworld novel is tellingly incompetent.

I'm glad you're getting out to visit places. Hopetown looks especially fun.
