Hopefully some of my other Montana compatriots will step up and share information...it's hard representing the whole state to the biblioblogosphere on this issue!

The specifics regarding the letter, its sender and the book(s) in question aren't really there in the blog post. I wouldn't rule out one of our patrons leaving something in a book as a political statement, though. It's been done before. Frankly, the library staff wouldn't have the time to do this even if we had the inclination. (And we don't!)" I'll let you know if we hear anything else.
