Dressing up in armor and fighting with foam weapons might seem like child’s play, but for some Ketchikan residents, getting together to role-play is so much more.

An advisory board endorsed librarians’ placement of a book on relationships and sexuality within the Ketchikan Public Library’s teen section on Wednesday.

Superintendent Michael Robbins says the $40.1 million budget cuts a total of 48 positions from the district’s payroll. But he says the district does not plan to lay off any current staff.

A Ketchikan resident’s request to have a book removed from the local library’s shelves will face a public hearing on Wednesday.

Ketchikan’s library director says the library will sponsor a drag queen reading this June. But Ketchikan’s city manager says no final decision has been made.
