...there was kind of a Spike 'Vampire. Evil.' effect...
Definitely. I think anyone in bookstores or libraries probably has to love books to be there in the first place, and pretty much any booklover, no matter what their politics, is for freedom of speech. It's a thing you get from reading constantly. Maybe it's morals/values... or maybe it's just a deep-seated fear that if they burn the books you'll run out of things to read before you go to bed. Either way, freedom of information is the key. :)
