A federal court has ruled to uphold a lower court’s decision to block parts of a law regulating libraries. As Josie Lenora with Little Rock Public Radio reports, the Arkansas state legislature approved Act 372 in 2023. Provisions of the legislation would criminalize librarians for offering book materials that are deemed “harmful to minors.” More specifically, it spells out a ban on a material or performance that depicts or describes nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or sadomasochistic abuse.
