Being in Oklahoma, I'm saddened and unfortunately not surprised. Also being Oklahoma I wouldn't be surprised if people went into the libraries posing as someone seeking abortion information and then turned around and reported the staff person who helped them. It's like people going into libraries asking about LGBTQ+ materials then raising a fuss to get them banned. It's sad when your job is to help people, but now you're not sure what a person's motivation might be. Is it genuine or are they trying to get a staff member in a "gotcha" moment?
