The library now has 30 days to develop digital county library playing cards out there statewide and to decide how to fund the acquisition of extra e-book variations of books being banned throughout the state and the nation.
L.A. County would be part of two different main library methods offering free, unrestricted entry to their supplies to these exterior of their jurisdiction. Books Unbanned in Brooklyn, New York, turned the primary system to accomplish that, adopted by Seattle Public Library in Washington State earlier this yr.
The objective is for L.A. County Library to launch their program the week of October 1, which corresponds with Banned Books Week.
“I am deeply troubled by rise in bans on books that uplift the experience of LGBTQ+ people, people of color, and historically marginalized communities,” Horvath mentioned in a press release after the vote. “L.A.
