So I went in to get my new library card (my old one was somewhere lost in time) and was thrilled to get one that says "I Read Banned Books" in big letters across the front with red flames that reference historic book burnings! I wonder if governor Ron DeSatan knows that Broward County is giving him the middle finger....

That's the way to do it!
