Libraries are so important as a source of information for the community. Criminalizing books that are vital resources for children just because they have LGBTQ+ content is crazy.

Hopefully the librarians can win this battle.

EDIT: The title was auto copied from NBC News, and I don't think "explicit" is the right word, removed it from the title.

I tend to read ebooks from the library, but when I purchase a book I’ll usually grab it in physical format. Thanks for the tip though, I’ll look into that site!
