The Alabama Public Library Service board is set to tackle several thorny issues surrounding libraries at its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 30. On the agenda is a discussion of its blacklist, which has now accumulated 82 titles split between the books targeted by groups like Clean Up Alabama and Christian or right-wing books apparently challenged by dissidents. The agenda specifically lays out discussion of letters sent to APLS from local author Tim Lockette and Alabama Supreme Court candidate Bryan Taylor requesting copies of the list, and Director Nancy Pack’s response letters.
