    I oppose the nomination of Majel Quinn Sullivan to the library board. Ms. Sullivan's positionality on libraries and freedom to access information is unclear and not publicly available. Furthermore, Ms. Sullivan has personal ties to Michael Quinn Sullivan, the publisher of the Texas Scorecard. The Texas Scorecard calls for book banning, which restricts First Amendment rights. I want a nominee that openly supports librarians, libraries and First Amendment rights for the Denton community.

    I strongly oppose the nomination of Majel Quinn Sullivan to the library board due to her strong political motivations and lack of prior experience with public libraries. Denton must have knowledgeable advocates for our libraries in these positions!

    Please oppose the nomination of Ms. Sullivan to the Library Board. Denton needs qualified library professionals who are dedicated to maintaining the integrity of Denton Public Libraries as places where information and resources are freely accessible to everyone, promoting learning and critical thinking without restrictions. Ms. Sullivan is not the right person for this job. Please oppose this nomination.

    I urge the city council to oppose the Mayor's nomination to the library board. The Mayor's nominee has personal ties to the pro-book-banning Christian Nationalist organization Texas Scorecard. This is yet another nomination from the Mayor with a specific political agenda that is completely at odds with the integrity of Denton's wonderful public libraries. The board of a public library should be staffed with qualified library professionals who will defend and protect our intellectual freedoms.
