      For over a year, the St. Marys branch of the Pottawatomie Wabaunsee Regional Library has been fighting to retain its lease for a city-owned building where it has been located for decades. The library has faced opposition from St. Marys’ city commissioners, all five of whom have ties to an extremist Christian sect that wants LGBTQ+ materials banned, according to the Kansas Reflector.

      There’s the answer. Emphasis mine.

      I’m also curious about this, but it sounds like the library just finally caved to the city council, no legal traction required. They tried to add it into the lease but the public shut that shit down, so I’m really not sure what happened here
