Library marketing manager asks librarians to hide logos of companies who are not official sponsors of the upcoming Olympics.

But Alex Youngberg, president of the library union, says the memo is contrary to the spirit of a public library. "There's something in my library to offend everybody," she said. "And that's our job. Our job as library staff is to not ever censor any information."
