Since about 2018 parents across the USA have been raising concerns about heavily sexualized books being found in Public Libraries and Public Schools. In the summer of 2021, parents in Campbell County became aware that some of these books are kept at the CCPL. Wyoming parents are working people, so rather than take time off to petition CCPL themselves they approached their pastors and other group repsentatives.

Pastor Ed Sisti and Pastor Susan Sisti of the Open Door Church in Gillette, Wyoming, were among the first to appear at public meetings to make those petitions on behalf of their congregation. CCPL Board members responded by making statements that equivocate the Pastors and their concerns to religious fanaticism, making the false claim that these individuals (who represent dozens if not hundreds of American voters) are "a fringe minority," and engaging their friends and accomplices in popular media to print (and post online) fictitious stories about rampant bigotry in Wyoming.

In plain reality the issue is not that these books claim to support LGBT concerns, and the issue is not even that these books are sexual in nature. The issue is not even that these books are kept, publically available, in CCPL's collection. The issue is that these books are prurient in nature and are specifically placed into sections of CCPL where children are actively herded into when they visit the library with their school classes or on their own (without a parental chaperone).

Parents (and their appointed group representatives, which as of 2022 includes several local pastors and even Wyoming State Representatives), have asked that these books be moved out of the sections where they are not just available to children as young as 8 years old but where such young children are actively directed to go to, and into the "Adult Section" which is really just the main library room also known as, "General Circulation."

I say "8 years old" because that is the youngest age which had been openly admitted to by Terri Lesley, who had been appointed to act as the CCPL Director until she was removed by a new, American, CCPL Board in July 2023. In reality the ALA has documented that this material targets everyone aged birth on up, therefore by collusion with that socialist organization the CCPL is specifically targeting children aged birth on up.
