Library System canceled dozens of youth programs starting February 23, after its board voted to implement a new collections policy that restricts certain content for minors. To comply with the policy, library staff must review around 86,000 books. Because of the increased workload, several programs are canceled for the foreseeable future. Trustees stated the changes are necessary to secure state funding [totaling about $370,000]. In addition to program cancellations, library management confirmed that interlibrary loan services are suspended system-wide so staff can assist with the relocation of materials within the library branches.”
