“California outlaws the banning of LGBTQ books from public library shelves”

From the Bay Area Reporter:

“California’s public libraries will no longer be able to pull books off the shelves because they talk about race or sexual orientation. And those receiving state funding will now be required to have a written policy governing how they add titles and remove titles from their collections.

It is due to Governor Gavin Newsom signing into law on Sunday Assembly Bill 1825 by Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance). Known as the California Freedom to Read Act, the legislation takes effect January 1 and does not apply to libraries at public schools.”
