Senate Passes Bill To Change Library Book Approval Process

[#TexasPolitics365]


The Texas Senate on Thursday approved a bill that would significantly change the processes and procedures Texas’ school libraries have to follow.

Senate Bill 13, from Sen. Angela Paxton, R-McKinney, would let parents receive notice each time their children obtain school library materials, prohibit the acquisition or retention of harmful and indecent materials, and create local councils to help districts ensure community values are reflected in each school library catalog in the district.
