Why are anti-Trump books going missing at an Idaho library?

Library users in the town of Coeur D'Alene in the US state of Idaho are facing problems getting hold of certain books. Publications about what might be termed progressive politics and critical of President Trump keep wandering far from their correct spots on the shelves. The phantom book mover has even left a note for library director, Bette Ammon, telling her: "I am going to continue hiding these books in the most obscure places I can find to keep this propaganda out of the hands of young minds". 大象传媒 Newsday's Lawrence Pollard has been speaking to her.
