Public comments on library materials and commission changes proclamation process; chair proclaims Juneteenth

Public comment at the Leavenworth County Commission meeting included a Lansing resident urging the county to protect broad access to library materials. Terry Wojolevich, who identified herself as a Lansing resident, spoke about libraries as democratic spaces and said removing materials erases stories and harms inclusion. During a brief back‑and‑forth, commissioners asked about collection development policies and whether parental review for age‑appropriate materials applies; Wojolevich said libraries use collection development policies and that decisions about what a child checks out remain between parent and child.
