Proud of our little beach town public library

New State Law: School Districts must provide parents with online access to the school’s catalog of library materials (Texas Education Agency guidance).
Parental notification: When a student checks out or uses library materials outside the library, parents must receive a record that includes the title, author, genre, and return date (TEA guidance, same link).
Acquisition rules: School boards must formally approve all new library acquisitions, including donations, and proposed materials must be available for public review for at least 30 days (Texas Library Association summary). Parents may limit their child’s access to school library materials.

Despite all this RW efforts to ban certain books in school, our public library just listed Ray Bradbury’s Farenheit 451 as its January book.
