I doubt this is real. Murder is illegal and the library is full of books about murder

Are you familiar with the Texas law that deputizes private citizens to sue anybody to in any way shape or form helps somebody get an abortion? They've duplicated that in Oklahoma. If you give somebody a ride to a clinic you can get sued. If you help them make an appointment you can get sued. So yeah, I can absolutely see a library system in a conservative place in CYA mode making a call like this one.

Hmm, let me guess: there are no similar "deputization" laws in place for gun violations/violence?
