Advocates of school book bans have shifted their sights toward Utah’s Little Free Libraries after a Democratic lawmaker planned to add banned books to the volunteer-run curbside collections in her district.
Book ban opponents say threats to prosecute people for simply having or putting books in reach of children likely will have a chilling effect on authors, parents and owners of Little Free Libraries.
“Even having that levied against you as an accusation — forget if you can actually defend yourself in court. … Are you going to be targeted?” Bromberg asked. “Your address is public, your Little Free Library is public. Are you going to be vandalized? Are you going to be threatened?”
