Gov. Kay Ivey, in a response to a letter from Alabama Public Library Service director Nancy Pack, suggests changes be made to library rules to 'limit children's access to inappropriate content.'
“Make state aid for local libraries contingent on the adoption of sensible policies to facilitate greater parental supervision of their children.”
Ivey said she’s “entirely sympathetic to calls to disaffiliate our Alabama libraries from the ALA.” She said there should be a balance between the advantages the ALA provides and what are the group’s “clear shortcomings.” Ivey said before the board amends its rules, the APLS should send a memo to local libraries “clarifying their ability to respond to parental concerns about sexually explicit or otherwise inappropriate material.” Ivey said, “limiting children’s access to inappropriate content is not impermissible ‘censorship.
Ivey said the nearly 30 local library policies Pack submitted “generally fail to support parents hoping to protect their children from inappropriate content.”
