St. Tammany library board votes to restrict access to books
The St. Tammany Parish Library Board has voted to restrict access to certain books in the parish's public libraries, north of New Orleans, Louisiana. The decision adds the region to the growing list of US communities weighing limits on library materials, a fight that has often centered on titles addressing race, gender and sexuality. Details on which books are affected and how the restrictions will be enforced were not immediately available.
Why now: Library book restrictions remain a flashpoint in the US culture wars, drawing attention whenever a local board acts.
