(BOISE, Id. ) — Librarians across the country say they\u2019ve become targets in the ongoing battles over books \u2013 but the attacks have escalated beyond just calls to remove materials from library shelves.<\/p>\n

Several librarians told ABC News they\u2019re facing threats of physical violence, lawsuits and criminal charges for having what some say is \u201cinappropriate\u201d content in libraries and schools where children can access the materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had people threatening to burn down our building,\u201d said Maegan Hanson, a library director in a small Idaho town.<\/p>\n

Hanson\u2019s library had a book on display called \u201cGender Queer,\u201d a graphic novel by Maia Kobabe. It\u2019s one of the most targeted books in the country because of its LGBTQ content and depictions of sex.<\/p>\n

When parts of the book were posted to Facebook, Hanson said the library began receiving online threats. She said fear began to set in among the small crew who work at the library \u2013 some of whom are teens and young adults.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in this service because we love the communities that we are a part of and the misinformation and the misrepresentation about what we do hasn’t stopped us from doing our jobs \u2013 it just makes it harder,\u201d Hanson said.<\/p>\n

The Idaho Library Association, which Hanson is a part of, is concerned that tensions and threats will only get worse now that Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed library content restrictions into law on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Idaho Library Association (@Idaho_Libraries) April 10, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n

House Bill 710 bars schools or public libraries from making materials available to children that are \u201charmful to minors,\u201d \u201cdepict nudity, sexual conduct, or sado-masochistic abuse,\u201d or include \u201cdetailed verbal descriptions or narrative accounts of sexual excitement, sexual conduct, or sado-masochistic abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The law states these books would need to be moved to an \u201cadults only section,\u201d and allows anyone to sue if schools and libraries don\u2019t restrict access to books that are believed to be harmful to children.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor children, libraries open doors to reading and intellectual exploration, helping them become lifelong learners. It\u2019s no wonder the vast majority of Idahoans say they value libraries and trust librarians,\u201d said Little in his letter after signing the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cI share the cosponsors\u2019 desire to keep truly inappropriate library materials out of the hands of minors,\u201d said Little, adding that he also has concerns about the content on minors’ cellphones.<\/p>\n

Little vetoed previous efforts to restrict library content, saying past legislation would have forced libraries to shutter their doors by forcing them to pay $2,500 for damages if they made \u201cobscene\u201d materials accessible.<\/p>\n

HB710 will make libraries pay $250, on top of other incurred fees or damages, if they violate the law. Little said he was moved to sign HB710 because it also allowed librarians to avoid legal action and fees if they addressed concerns about materials in a certain time frame.<\/p>\n

In Little\u2019s letter, he states that literacy is still a top priority for him: \u201cLibraries play such a crucial role in helping our youngsters to read early on.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the small libraries of Idaho, directors say hundreds of dollars in lawsuits over books could come at the expense of some library resources and education programming \u2013 including early literacy programs, technology support, access to case workers and more.<\/p>\n

Hanson\u2019s library had a total operating income of $279,452 in 2021 for the year\u2019s staffing and programming, according to the Idaho Commission for Libraries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a high poverty population in Idaho and various rural communities, so for these people who are lacking in resources, this content is important,” Hanson said.<\/p>\n

Supporters of HB710 argue it\u2019s just a book relocation policy and should not impact libraries that don’t have “inappropriate” content or properly move content out of sections for people under 18.<\/p>\n

But some librarians fear that a plethora of material could fall victim to this definition of obscene content, including classical pieces of literature and other popular books, and lead to censorship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s absolutely going to be the chilling effect of people being so afraid of ordering or having any sort of book that could possibly offend somebody,\u201d said Huda Shaltry, a library director in Boise, Idaho.<\/p>\n

\u201cA well-curated public library has something in it to offend everyone,\u201d she said, explaining that having a diverse collection with a wide range of perspectives and subjects available to all is vital to a public library system that serves all.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Book restrictions are] very directed to the LGBTQIA+ community but, ultimately, you can make the argument that the Bible\u2019s offensive. There goes the Bible,\u201d Hanson said. \u201c\u201850 Shades of Grey,\u2019 OK, it’s offensive. \u2018Game of Thrones,\u2019 it\u2019s offensive. Where exactly does it stop? \u2018Harry Potter,\u2019 it’s offensive because it teaches witchcraft \u2013 It really impedes on people’s First Amendment rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several renowned, award-winning books have been added to banned books lists for being \u201coffensive,\u201d including \u201cTo Kill a Mockingbird\u201d by Harper Lee, \u201cThe Bluest Eye\u201d by Toni Morrison, \u201cOf Mice and Men\u201d by John Steinbeck, \u201cThe Handmaid’s Tale\u201d by Margaret Atwood and more, according to the American Library Association.<\/p>\n

What some might find offensive, Shaltry and Hanson argue, could be helpful to someone else \u2013 be it about representation, sexuality, experience with abuse, or other topics, they say.<\/p>\n

Shaltry, who says \u201cbeing a librarian is a calling and not a career\u201d for her, said critics have made hurtful claims and accusations about librarians for displaying content that may contain sex education or sexual content.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m trying not to cry,\u201d said Shaltry in an interview. \u201cThe words of being a pedophile and a groomer or stuff \u2013 I never thought that I would ever hear any of this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Idaho librarians aren\u2019t alone in their challenges \u2013 local reports show that libraries nationwide have received bomb threats, others say they\u2019ve been fired for not removing certain books from shelves, and others have been defunded because of content and programming.<\/p>\n

\u200b\u200bWest Virginia libraries are also facing growing challenges.<\/p>\n

If the state\u2019s House Bill 4654 becomes law, employees could be charged with a felony, fined up to $25,000, and sentenced to up to five years in a correctional facility if found guilty of allowing a minor to access material that could be what the state considers to be “obscene.\u201d<\/p>\n

“What this bill does do is stop obscene and pornographic material, sexually explicit materials from being available to children in public taxpayer-funded spaces,” said State Delegate Elliott Pritt, a Republican, in a February hearing, according to The Parkersburg News and Sentinel.<\/p>\n

The president of the American Library Association has denounced such legislative efforts, calling it \u201corganized censorship.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Falsely claiming that these works are subversive, immoral, or worse, these groups induce elected and non-elected officials to abandon constitutional principles, ignore the rule of law, and disregard individual rights to promote government censorship of library collections,” ALA said in a statement objecting to such restrictions.<\/p>\n
