What’s in it

This bill relates to the placement of books and other materials in city libraries. The bill provides that when residents of a city served by a library board express concern about a specific book or other material, the city council may, by majority vote, overturn a library board’s decision to place the book or other material in a particular location within a library. If the council votes to overturn the library board’s decision, the council shall provide direction to the library board for placement of the book or other material, which may include placing the book or other material in a secure location and limiting check-out privileges for the book or other material to adults if the book or other material is considered sensitive in nature.
