PEN America called for the restoration of the teen/young adult selection at #HamiltonEastIN
Second, the library board pedaled back on their decision--on one John Green book; that still leaves the teen/YA section depleted as hell.
AND, the library board president is being yeted in favor of a HS English teacher:
Correction: HAS been yeted

An Indiana public library is moving 1300 young adult titles to the adult section--making them unavailable to the readers the books were written for, many of whom need those books to survive their lives.
The library is spending over $300,000 just to deny teens the right to read books written for and about them.
