Donnelly Public Library will no longer allow anyone under 18 to visit unless accompanied by a parent starting July 1.
Thats due to the implementation of House Bill 710 passed earlier this year, which requires all libraries both public and private to relocate a book to an adults-only section within 60 days of receiving a written complaint.
If the library declines to do so, it could face a civil lawsuit under the law. That comes with a mandatory $250 fine for the library and plaintiffs could receive uncapped damages.
Our size prohibits us from separating our grown up books to be out of the accessible range of children, the librarys statement reads, noting its only 1,024 square feet.
more not even to use the bathroom the state once again equating lgbtq with porn

OP
Kids don't read porn. It's much more explicit on Netflix or at Repug parties.

Many of our fondest memories as children are venturing down to our local library and immersing ourselves in the sea of books and knowledge, Little wrote, noting that libraries are a critical component to enhancing literacy across the state.
But right wing fanatics dont want kids to learn anything on their own unless its reading the Bible. So sad.
