Although it seems to be a wonderful concept...I'm not sure anyone will use the library until the FLDS take it upon themselves to declare Warren Jeffs the fraud that he is. Just seems like poor timing to me.

Although the idea seems wonderful.....I'm not sure anyone will use the library just yet. Maybe when they get a new prophet life will get a little better. Poor timing me thinks.

I have to agree with the first two comments. It seems the city counsel was only being polite. Library cards would identify who has gone against the so-called prophet. If someone in this group wants to go against the prophet, it would be safer to buy a book outside of town.

It seems that Texas may through charges Jeff's way. If so, along with the other charges he may be in jail for life. He has limited visitation, he can't do some of the things he used to do like marry people. I haven't seen signs that anything has changed since his arrest. The Texas compound had no red, no toys, no books etc.
