We’re currently taking a bit of a hiatus to focus on summer reading, HB710 preparation, and squeezing in a vacation, among other secret shenanigans. You can still support libraries through the Idaho Library Association (ILA)’s fundraiser: bonfire.com/store/idaho-li….

A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up “It’s Perfectly Normal” while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time she’d spoken about it.

The father was convicted, and the judge said, “There were heroes in this case. One was the child, and the other was the book.” Also a hero was the librarian who made this book available on the shelves.

The author wrote “I wish we never had to talk with kids about any of these aberrant behaviors. But we have to do so because kids have a right to have accurate information that can keep them healthy and safe. They need to know how to get help to make any abusive behavior stop.”

This true story came from this article from @BookRiot

Sex Ed Books Don't "Groom" Kids and Teens. They Protect Them.
Authors of sex ed books and the librarians that carry them are being accused of "grooming" kids, but these books can help keep them safe.

In Idaho we have people arguing this book is “pornography” in order to have it removed from libraries

Three cheers to this Idaho library director who responded with grace, tact, and useful information to concerns from a patron about certain library materials. 👏👏👏

Why, though? Why does the book have to be removed simply because you don’t like it? There are many books I don’t like in my local library and that’s fine with me, because I can recognize that those books are not just made available for me.
