How very weird. Come to think of it, when I lived in Estes Park for about a month thirty years ago, I don't think I ever got over to the library. I was riding my bike over to the Stanley Hotel to play on their piano.

Anyway. It's true that Colorado is, sadly, in thrall to the fundies in a lot of places, but one other factor might be that for four or five months of the year, Estes Park is Coney Island, with a huge transient population from out of town. Maybe they feel they have to meet community standards for the most backward possible visitors.

Not that this is an excuse. There's no excuse.
