Fairfield Public Library Answers Questions On Potential New Law That Bans Books on Doctrinal or Partisan Grounds

Illinois could soon become the first state in the nation to enact legislation that would punish libraries that ban books. With that news coming down last week, we reached out to Michelle Conard with the Fairfield Public Library on the matter.Under the new law, books that are partisan and or doctrinal in nature are not allowed to be banned or libraries could lose out on grant funding.
