Madison County Public Library administrators were asked to go over a list of potentially "sexually explicit" books to be moved from the children's and young adult section to the adult section. The majority of these books were about the LGBTQ community. At least one was added to the list because the author's last name is Gay.

    Fyi since I’m assuming you didn’t read the article, the book was just moved out of the Children’s section. Obviously a mistake in instance, but it’s not being banned. Mein Kampf is not in the children’s section. I think it’s fine for sexually explicit books (i.e. the book “Gender queer”) to be moved out of the children’s section
