last night was successful in a recall vote</a> on City Councilor, Steve Dillard. Councilor Dillard has been actively seeking age restrictions on children’s materials at the Seaside Public Library. A recall petition on Councilor Dillard’s term was filed as
a response to his ongoing requests to limit access to materials of kids, and the vote was held last night. As of this morning, the vote passed 63% to 37%.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%"><font face="arial, sans-serif">The IFC would like to again, extend a congratulations to Seaside Public Library and the community of Seaside for continuing to fight for intellectual freedom,
including free and open access to materials, including supporting the rights of minors.</font></p>
