A library board in New York reversed its decision to remove all LGBTQ-related displays from its children's section in four of its libraries during Pride month after the removal was criticized.
On Tuesday, four out of seven Smithtown Library Board of Trustees had voted to remove all Pride material displays from the children's section in its Commack, Kings Park, Nesconset and Smithtown locations on Long Island. "All books on this subject are still part of the Library's Children's collection and can be checked out by anyone wishing to do so," The Smithtown Library Board of Trustees had written on its website about the vote.
"The original recommendation was to remove sensitive material from the children's section only based upon complaints by parents in the community." Books about LGBTQ and Black people were among the most challenged books in 2021 Books that tell the stories of Black and LGBTQ people or by authors in those communities topped a 2021 list of the 10 titles that were targeted the most for removal or censorship in schools, libraries and universities, the American Library Association said.
