Dozens of measures advanced in recent years aim to either restrict which books libraries can offer and threaten librarians for handing out “obscene” or “harmful” titles -- or to prohibit such bans or harassment.
Sam Lee, a leader of the Connecticut Library Association, heads to work these days torn between hope and fear.
The bill in Connecticut, pending before an education committee, is one of a raft of measures advancing nationwide that seek to do things like prohibit book bans or forbid the harassment of school and public librarians — the first such wave in the country, said John Chrastka, director of library advocacy group EveryLibrary.
Chrastka of EveryLibrary said he fears red and blue parts of America are charting different courses for the future of reading. A few weeks ago, Sofferman drove to Montpelier to testify in favor of one of these bills, which she called “heartening.”Some restrictive library bills give parents more power over book selection, for example requiring schools obtain parental sign-off before providing children sexually explicit content. Another common move is to require that libraries post lists of their books for parental review.But the majority of the bills work the same way.
