Douglas Soule writes: “A Florida school district that has already removed hundreds of books is questioning whether traditional high school libraries are needed. It’s a situation that book access advocates say represents an evolution in Florida’s book banning practices, where school districts have already removed or restricted more titles than any other state. At a recent workshop, Clay County (Fla.) School Board member Ashley Gilhousen mentioned it would be helpful to talk to school employees about what ‘they see as the benefits of the media center,’ a common term schools use for libraries.”
