New Jersey State Senate passes bill intended to halt book bans, protect librarians (newjerseymonitor.com)

A bill aimed at limiting book bans in public schools and libraries and protecting librarians from lawsuits and criminal charges is now on the governor’s desk.

Titled the “Freedom to Read Act,” the legislation would require the state’s education commissioner to develop policies on how library materials are selected and how challenges to books on library shelves should be evaluated. Local school boards and library boards would then adopt their own policies using this model.
