Description: You've heard that it's happening - and now two librarians tell us in this moving episode how they became targets of extremists.

Meanwhile, librarian Martha Hickson was fighting her own battle against censorship, 2000 miles away in New Jersey - but she managed to organize supporters to rally against censorship. And they won.
