Solano County supervisors this week approved their response to a 2023-24 civil grand jury report on a new law addressing banning books in school and public libraries.
The law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September 2023, “bans rejecting public school library materials based on content. It focuses on the contributions of people from different cultures, racial backgrounds, sexual orientation, or gender identities.”
The grand jury looked into the procedures public and school libraries have for how to request banning a book.
