Haverford Library Only Letting Staff Read?
By Sharon Devaney
I had my children’s books published while learning to walk again after being t-boned by a illegal alien in Havertown.
When I recovered I went to the Haverford Free Library and donated my children’s books and said I would be available for some story hours and book signings. They had said they were all booked up. Then come to find out they allowed a drag queen to read a couple weeks later .
This Tuesday I went to the makeshift library in Manoa Shopping Center in Havertown because they had received $1 million from Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon to reconstruct the standing library. I waited until story hour was over to speak to the librarian.
After story hour I spoke with her and said that I would be available to come in for story hour and read my books since I am a local author.
She said that only library workers read for the story hour . She asked if I was a teacher. I said I used to teach pre-kindergarten although I’m now a massage therapist.
She asked about having clearances .
I said I have all of them. Therapists renew licenses every two years and the renewal now includes education about child trafficking. She got really quiet and proceeded to the front desk. She handed me a little piece of scrap paper and told me to write my name, phone number and email.
I smiled as I gave her the information and said I’m left handed so you may have trouble reading it.
She made sure she had it right, though.
I hope to hear back.
Please support local authors.

Haverford Library Only Letting Staff Read?
If what the librarian said about restricting readers to library personnel is accurate, it means the drag queens can no longer groom children at the Haverford Free Library.
That’s a good thing.
