There has been a reversal on a Pride display at a Long Island library.
The Smithtown library board voted earlier this week to take down Pride displays in the children's section. In addition to displays, about 29 children's Pride-related books were removed from shelves but could still be checked out by parents.
"This 100% is not how the community feels about this, this is not how the public librarians feel about this. This was purely a decision made by the trustees," Smithtown mother Juliet Roscigno-Filipkowski told CBS2's Jennifer McLogan. "I am horrified by reports that the Smithtown Library Board has decided to remove any LGBTQ+ related books from displays in the children's sections of its libraries and have directed the New York State Division of Human Rights to launch an investigation immediately.
The book removal was proposed by trustee Marie Gergenti, who shut her front door when asked to comment.
