Indiana Students protest possible librarian cuts

New desks, lunch tables and automatic flushing toilets are nice, but several students at Yorktown High School would rather have old desks and tables and manual flushing toilets if it will help the librarians in the district keep their jobs.

About 20 of those students — with personal or library books in hand — showed up at Morrow’s Meadow across the street from Yorktown Middle School to protest the possibility of losing the high school librarian.

“Students can survive flushing their own toilets, but it wouldn’t be a school without our librarians,” protest organizer and senior Ryan Brown said.
