Maricopa County is starting a pilot program that will let parents restrict what books their children read at the library.
The program will only be available at Queen Creek Library for now.
Moves to block books from some libraries have gathered nationwide attention, as opponents argue parents shouldn’t block book access for other kids.
Maricopa County Board Chair Thomas Galvin says this would allow parents to block books only for their children instead of from others as well.
The child’s library account would have to be linked to the parent or guardian’s.
Parents would have to visit the Queen Creek library in person to complete the form if they wanted to participate.
