Secret Student-Run Library

In the vein of “if it’s on the internet it must be true”, here is a private schooler running a blackmarket lending librray from their locker. Basically, the school banned and pulled a bunch of books. Many are titles on everyone’s banned lists The Catcher in the Rye, Catch 22, The Evolution of Man, etc. So the student has been sneaking the books into the locker and lending them out.

I am heartened at the idea that books could mean so much to the younger kids running around, though I became suspect when the student claims that the Twilight series is banned, but won’t be in the secret library as

“…I don’t want that polluting my library.”

I thought all kids were required to worship at the alter of Stephenie Myer?
