A 68-year-old retiree in Seymour, Indiana was a regular visitor to his local branch library and had become friendly with some employees there. In November, he brought a political poem he had written to give to a staffer he thought might like it; the person wasn’t in that day, so he left the poem at the circulation desk. He got home to find a voicemail from the police saying that he was permanently banned from the library’s premises and would be arrested if he ever returned. Why? As the Circulation Manager put it, “We don’t do politics at the library.” The ACLU has taken the case. (includes complete text of the poem) – Literary Hub
