This past June, South Carolina’s Pickens County Library System withdrew its participation in a voluntary, nationwide, youth summer reading program , after receiving criticism and threats from community members concerned that the library’s scheduled program series--including workshops on subjects like yoga, astrology, tie-dyeing, and Zen gardens--would promote witchcraft while teaching other religions . While the workshops were cancelled, the celebratory pizza party planned as a wrap-up to the program series was kept on the calendar. “We tried to salvage the one thing that had nothing to do with specific programs. We're going to have a pizza taste-off and vote on their best pizza,” said Pickens County Library System Coordinator Marguerite Keenan, as quoted in the Greenville News . More recently, it was determined that a middle school essay contest posing the question “What’s a Library? ” might help heal any wounds created by the controversy.
