llano Library ... Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins ...

Bing: I found some news articles about Llano County Library in Texas that might interest you. The library system was facing closure after a federal judge ordered 12 banned books returned to the shelves this month.

However, Llano County commissioners made the decision at a special meeting where members of the community turned out to voice their support for the century-old library system. They decided to keep the library system open and comply with judge’s order to put banned books back in circulation.

meanwhile ... Hunter Biden !
House Oversight has uncovered Biden family business dealings including up to $10 million dollars, maybe more, received from foreign entities. Should be illegal but ... And nothing leading back to the 'big guy.'
As Giuliani famously said it back some time ago on another matter: 'We have a lot of suspicions but no proof.'
