Why would the Cuban government feel threatened by uncensored libraries?
The Cuban government tries to exert control over many aspects of its citizen’s lives, and the independent librarians are seen as a danger because: (1) They challenge the government’s system of censorship, and (2) The independent libraries anger the authorities by offering a public space, free of government control, where Cubans can attend uncensored debates, seminars, film showings, public meetings, art exhibits and children’s programs.
