Arkansas librarians sue to block new law that could jail them over explicit books
- A coalition of libraries and booksellers have filed a federal lawsuit challenging an Arkansas law that subjects their personnel to criminal charges if they provide "harmful" materials to minors, which takes effect on August 1.
- The new law also creates a process to challenge library materials and request that they be relocated to areas not accessible by children.
- Lawmakers in conservative states have been pushing for measures to make it easier to ban or restrict access to books, with the number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the US being the highest in the last 20 years.
