Thanks, Eric Schmitt, I hate this response. Libraries are already for all of us, you insufferable kumquat. 💙📚

September 8, 2026

Dear Mrs. Sterling,

Thank you for contacting my office regarding libraries. Your input forms an important part of my decision-making process and empowers me to better represent the people of Missouri.

Libraries are an invaluable part of any successful society. They play an important role in providing citizens with access to information, serve as a gathering place to build community, and help to educate both children and adults on a wide variety of topics. I believe we must maintain Americans’ access to these resources to ensure our communities can fully thrive.

At the same time, we must be certain that the materials available in libraries is appropriate for all. Children should not be subjected to explicit content or curriculum that is antithetical to American values or morals in these spaces. In doing so, we can ensure libraries remain safe, educational places for all.

I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind should any additional legislation regarding libraries come before the Senate. If you have any other concerns or need assistance with a federal agency, please do not hesitate to contact my office. It is an honor to serve as your voice in Congress.

Very Truly Yours,
Eric S. Schmitt
United States Senator

My younger sister decided to start putting flowers on our parents’ grave for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, and frankly, I love it.
