On October 22, Craighead County Jonesboro (Ark.) Public Library issued a statement listing 12 books that were being relocated to a new parent/teachers section within the children’s library. Library Director David Eckert said the books, which were about sex education, “are intended for parents to help their children have a well-rounded education.” In recent months, children’s books containing LGBTQIA+ content have been at the heart of several contentious board meetings at CCJPL.
