Requires the state librarian to provide guidance on the curation of library material to all school library systems
Bill A 7568, known as the "school libraries curation guidance act," requires the state librarian to provide guidance on library material curation to all school library systems. This guidance will include standards to ensure library materials present a wide range of viewpoints, prohibit censorship, and provide access to developmentally relevant content for all students. It also outlines procedures for librarians to regularly review and remove materials based on factors like relevance, condition, and demand. The state librarian will maintain and publish a list of school library systems that adopt policies meeting these minimum standards.
