What the fucking hell?
I'm at a bit of a loss for words here, probably because I have nothing good to say.
Not only is their logic faulty (while spending could certainly increase on spanish and non-english books, the idea that they will "take over" is ridiculous - and baning even donations?), suggesting that the poor woman's SIN number be checked simply because she's not a white American and speaks something other than English is downright racist. It looks like the librarians aren't backing down, which is fantastic of them. I just can't understand that level of xenophobia. I wonder if they know how much of American culture is borrowed and imported from other parts of the world.
