An American librarian has been fired for writing a novel about the ‘interesting’ people who use libraries.  Writing under the pseudonym ‘Ann Miketa’ the librarian published ‘The library diaries’.  She had been working at her library for 15 years, and is appealing the decision.

The authority seems to be concerned that patrons of the fictional library are portrayed as unpleasant, rude and unattractive.  Supporters of the librarian are concerned with freedom of speech.
