A group of Germantown, TN teenagers protested in front of the Memphis and Shelby County Central Library on Poplar Avenue Friday. They’re upset because they’re no longer allowed to check out books. “I was really angry because my family pays Shelby County taxes that helped fund this library and I don’t feel it’s fair at all,” says eighth-grader Lucia Bird.
The Germantown Library has left the Memphis and Shelby County Public Library System. A spokesperson for the library says they no longer receive funds from Germantown, or from Shelby County in Germantown’s name. Germantown residents are still allowed to visit Shelby County Libraries, but they’re no longer allowed to check out materials. Read all about it.
