Sign the Petition: Montgomery County Public Library Petition
Sign this Petition to ask the Montgomery County Commissioner's Court to reject the proposed Library Reconsideration Materials Policy, and maintain the existing policy.
The Montgomery County Commissioners Court is proposing and voting on a new Library Reconsideration Materials Policy on March 26, 2024. This proposed policy would strip librarians at the Montgomery County Memorial Library System of their voice—and the community of the librarians’ knowledge and expertise. Moreover, it gives the power to five, commissioner-appointed citizens to dictate which children’s, young adult and parenting books can remain on the library’s shelves.
The current policy requires proof that the individual filing the complaint is a Montgomery County resident. It allows for input from librarians. And decisions to permanently remove or restrict books are not based on arbitrary and undefined factors. This proposed revision strips away all of that.
