April 11: After a federal judge ordered the return of more than a dozen books improperly pulled from the Llano County Public Library shelves for their content, the county's commissioners have called a special meeting for April 13 to discuss shutting the library down altogether.
According to a notice and agenda posted to the Llano County website, the Llano County Commissioners Court has set a meeting to discuss whether to “continue or cease operations of the current physical Llano County Library System,” the continued employment of library staff, and the “feasibility of the use of the library premises by the public.”
Apr 14: After a hastily called meeting (and with a crowd of library supporters rallying outside) Llano County Commissioners on Thursday decided not to pursue the closure of the county’s public libraries—at least for now... in a statement released after the meeting, Llano County Judge Ron Cunningham lamented that “a public library simply cannot function if its librarians, county judge, commissioners, and even the volunteers who serve out the goodness of their heart, can be sued every time a library patron disagrees with a librarian’s ‘weeding’ decision," and vowed to continue to fight for the right to ban books in the courts.
The drama in Llano County comes after a federal judge on March 30 found that the library board in Llano County infringed the constitutional rights of library users by unilaterally removing books it deemed inappropriate.
