In a brilliant use of reverse psychology, library backers ran a campaign pushing for the closure of the library...but they took it to a ridiculous extreme. Via ilovelibraries.org.
Yard signs began appearing that read: "Vote to Close Troy Library on August 2nd - Book Burning Party on August 5th." No one wants to be a part of a town that burns books, and the outraged citizens of Troy pushed back against the "idiotic book burners" and ultimately supported the tax increase, thus ensuring the library's survival.
