The other day my mom called me very excited about an article she was sending me from my hometown newspaper.( my mom may be the only person I know who still loves to send mail, she constantly cuts clipping out of the paper to send) . She said they are shutting down the bible trailer! The bible trailer is a trailer that parks outside of the elementary schools in my small town and if you have a signed permission slip you can visit the trailer for a bible lesson. I'm from a small conservative town and the bible trailer has been supported by the community for many years. I attended the bible trailer in the first grade and so did my 32 year old sister. Recently a local judge voted that the trailer went against church and state laws. This was a big shock to most members of the community. Here is an article about the school corporation meeting .
It has a few weird typos but I'm pretty impressed it was available online.
This got me thinking about libraries and the community they serve. My hometown community has supported the bible trailer program for years .

The group that has the loudest voice tends to make the rules.
