NIXA, Mo. — On Tuesday, locals filled the meeting room of the Christian County Public Library in Nixa after several parents raised concerns about children being able to access books that contain nudity and LGBTQ+ content without labels or warning signs.
But before the meeting took place, the library board of trustees held a special meeting to discuss recent changes made to the board and if they violated any sunshine laws in the process.
The Christian County Library District — along with one of the board members — is suing three other members of the board of trustees, saying they violated the Missouri Sunshine Law and the board’s bylaws when they held August’s special election.

“Because we made an error as the board, that is why we had this special meeting tonight and why there is an issue that we are needing to contact higher legal help — the Attorney General — to make sure we have not violated the law and that things can proceed,” said Hagen.
