What a misleading title. It gives the impression that it was permanently shut down, when the truth is otherwise:
"... a spokesperson for Green Hill High School confirmed that the school has closed its library ahead of the 2024–2025 school year to sort through its entire collection of books to ensure that they are in compliance with H.B. 843, which went into effect on July 1."
- infotainment 2y agoI mean, shutting down the library for an entire year still seems like a fairly unfortunate outcome. What if someone accidentally sees a forbidden book before it's removed from the shelf??? Better close the whole library until it's been totally audited, just in case.
- hn_acker 2y ago> I mean, shutting down the library for an entire year still seems like a fairly unfortunate outcome. The school library probably won't be closed for an entire school year. It's just closed indefinitely. The school could open the library early by progressively adding back batches of confirmed "safe" books. (None of what I said changes the fact that the updated Age-Appropriate Materials Act still violates the First Amendment.)
