Thank you for undersanding my position. Wish your efforts well restoring the rights of students to express themselves with conscience of the greater good. Free Palestine. Stop the genocide. Divest from the war machine.

Peace

Donate? It seems to me when there's such a level of destruction some people need to serve some time. I'm sure there's sufficient evidence to pinpoint the organizers and those most responsible. There seems to be a lot of beating around the bush as to the identity of the perpetrators. As though the library self-destructed.

Any university library reports to higher levels so I think they could only address service issues because it would be the upper admin that would make those statements.

Wow. I didn’t know anything about this. Such pointless vandalism and theft. I had not considered a campus library being a target for anarchism. But here we are.

O, libraries are often a target. They are where the memories are held.

The headline confuses me. I hope you are not advising we donate to the Portland State Library. It is obvious PS cannot to be trusted to defend its Library from vandalizing cretins. PS would probably use the funds to purchase Marxist garbage anyway.

There is a link in the FAQ to help the library. Some have asked how to help.

Well, they would be wiser to help more responsible institutions.
