Alabama Public Library Service Director sent a letter to the board of trustees and Gov. Kay Ivey recommending they discontinue their American Library Association Membership.
executive director Nancy Pack said in a memo they should “discontinue our institutional membership to the American Library Association .”
Pack said in the memo “limiting a child’s access to potentially harmful content or relocating controversial reading materials should not be misconstrued as censorship in any form. APLS recommends that libraries exercise their best judgment when it comes to shelving sexually explicit or otherwise inappropriate materials, regardless of the intended age group, to support a parent’s right to protect their children.
Eubank said “inappropriate” books by Black authors were segregated from books by white authors until the 1960s, and today, “funding for libraries is being held hostage by the governor and the state legislature.” “If APLS adopts the proposed rule change, then library board meetings will be the venue in which those funds are appropriated,” Layne said. “Traditionally, library boards grant discretion to library directors as to how membership dues are disbursed.”
