"For several months, employees at #CorkCity #Library have been subjected to protests from deeply conservative #activists, some of whom are believed to be linked to British #FarRight groups.
They have apparently taken issue with #books which explain #LGBTQ issues to young people.
They remind me of the Committee on Evil Literature, which was appointed in 1926 and reported to the Department of Justice."
