LISNews: The Librarian's Huge Cache

NEW YORK, NY March 23, 2009 —The Brooklyn (NY) Public library has apologized in writing to a woman who was harassed while attempting to breastfeed her daughter. Danielle Glanvill contacted the New York Civil Liberties Union about two incidents at the library's Flatlands Branch. In each case, a security guard is accused of telling her to stop nursing.
