#StTammany #PublicLibrary is introducing policies to push back on excessive book banning requests. Having received over 200 requests in the last year, many of which are for the same books, the library board has decided that results of any book review will stand for 5 years.

Some residents don’t think this goes far enough, proposing that too many failed requests to review from the same person should result in a financial penalty.
