Jim Cabaniss, the president of AVIDD, led a group of up to 15 supporters at times, following a flatbed truck with a mulcher tied to it, starting at 9 a.m. at the library system’s central branch in Conroe to the Montgomery, Willis, New Caney, Woodlands (South Branch), and Magnolia Libraries, holding a rally at each.
Cabaniss spoke from the tail of the flatbed truck on a makeshift loud speaker of the “filth and smut that have polluted our libraries.” He orchestrated the shredding of ‘symbolic’ books – which he made clear were not the ones on the group’s list but books he owned privately – representing what he wanted to do to the more than 70 titles the group was protesting.
