Before the next board meeting, out in the library courtyard under a tree decked out with birdhouses, Angelo Moreno, a library worker and union organizer from the East Lansing Public Library, sat with me in the cold, the sun disappearing behind him. He’d driven out that night to meet the Ferndale organizers and check out the board meeting with me. There’s a lot of fear around library board meetings now, he told me, since the right has seized on them as a political platform. But it’s important not to misread their presence as representative of their power. “It’s not a problem of a mass movement against libraries and library workers,” he said. “It’s a problem of a loud, right-wing minority.” That means, for libraries and library workers, “we don’t suffer from a lack of popular support. We suffer from a lack of popular power.” The right are not the only ones who can build power from this moment. “They’re gonna throw their temper tantrums, and it’s our duty in a sense to be pretty calm, cool, and collected, because we have the people.” The answer isn’t to hope board meetings remain uncontroversial. “The answer to bad politics,” said Moreno, “is not, no politics.”

The book bans are a lot of things: a pretext for targeting queer and trans communities and communities of color; an opportunity for the right to activate people to fight “groomers” or whatever bogeyman term they next decide will whip up the most retweets. Book bans are an attack on intellectual freedom, not just when they result in empty shelves, but long before that—when they are a tool for threatening people just trying to do their jobs. “Something that the public may not really understand is that we are working people,” Moreno said. When you walk into a public library in your city or your town, “the first person that you see is probably a low-wage, part-time service worker,” like the people in circulation in Ferndale, the people first in line for harassment and threats, the people at the core of the union campaign.

Ferndale now has its very own college campus! The main lot has eight dorms, a gym, a cafeteria, and a library with a study room, kitchenette, and an art studio. There are student apartments on a separate lot nearby.

For those who don’t know, I’ve started playing university in my main neighborhood (aka no subhood) so I can build mini-campuses or let sims go to school while still living with their family. Here’s the mod if you’re interested in trying it out (you can even go to university in vacation neighborhoods!)
