Texas County Restores Banned Books, Keeps Libraries Open Despite Ongoing Controversy

  • Llano County commissioners voted to return banned books to libraries rather than close the county's library system.
  • The decision comes after months of controversy and a lawsuit over the removal of books that some residents deemed inappropriate.
  • The banned books included award-winning titles as well as children's books with silly themes.
  • While some residents support the book ban, others argued it violated First Amendment rights and wanted the libraries to remain open.
  • The legal battle over the book ban is ongoing even as the books return to shelves.
