Because simply not attending the programs just isn't enough.

From GreenvilleOnline.com:

The threat of protesters marching in front of Pickens County library branches influenced officials' decision to cancel a youth summer reading program.

"They were talking about picketing the library," said Marguerite Keenan, library system director. "I have little children coming in here and to have to walk through a gauntlet like that just sounded horrible."

The library canceled its "You Never Know at Your Library" summer mystery and suspense series for students in grades 5 and up.

Everything about this stinks.  It stinks that the Rock Springs Baptist Church felt that they could boss the library and it stinks that the library LET the Rock Springs Baptist Church boss them.  BAH.
