The Alabama Public Library Service Board of Directors voted to remove books discussing transgender topics from teen and children's sections in all public libraries statewide.The decision, supported by Board Chairman John Wahl, mandates relocating materials on "transgender procedures, gender ideology, or the concept of more than two biological genders" to adult sections and tightens youth library card policies.Protesters including Mack Reynolds criticized this move as censorship and erasure, while board member Ronald A. Snider condemned the board for overruling librarians and local boards.
