Excerpt:
"'I think that the GOP chair on the State Library Board is forcing the removal of books just because of anti-library extremists. I think that’s ignoring the voices of Fairhope taxpayers and library users,' said Amber Frey of Alabama, an organization that has opposed the restrictions.

"The action against the Fairhope Library is the first taken under a new Alabama law and 2024 administrative code changes that say to receive state funding, local libraries must have policies to safeguard youth from 'sexually explicit or other material deemed inappropriate for children or youth.'"
