Tovia Smith writes: “Those who’ve been trying to remove certain books from childrens’ sections at public libraries are now taking aim at what they see as a source of the problem: the American Library Association. A growing number of states and local libraries are cutting ties with the nation’s predominant library professional association, saying the ALA has become too radical. On Thursday, a bill that would go further than any other passed the Georgia Senate in a 33-to-20 vote and now heads to the House. [The] sweeping bill, the first of its kind in the nation, would force all school and public libraries in Georgia to cut ties with the library association.”
