Montgomery County Establishes New Public Library Policy With Citizen Review for Children’s Books
Montgomery County residents were fired up Tuesday morning, March 26th, about item 10.A on the Commissioners Court agenda. This item was the new library book Reconsideration Policy, presented by County Judge Mark Keough and Commissioner Robert Walker. The policy was written by Judge Keough and his staff. It passed in a 3 to 1 vote. Commissioner James Noack was not present and Commissioner Riley was the only no vote.
The new Reconsideration Policy applies to books for children and young adults.
Congratulations to Michele Nuckolls and everyone who has been fighting for the safety and wellbeing of our kids, and thank you to Montgomery County Commissioners Court for passing this new policy.
