Two proposed policy changes made by a Craighead County (Ark.) Library Board member were narrowly defeated during the board’s August 9 meeting. Board member Mark Nichols proposed a new policy that would have the board responsible for approving library displays and guest speakers. The debate arose when state Rep. Dan Sullivan (R-Jonesboro) responded to the library Pride display after constituents notified him of the issue. Library Director David Eckert said the policy change would mean board members would be responsible for reading through and approving approximately 250 items. The proposal was defeated 3–2.
