For you to understand our concerns,  find below 'summaries' of just a few of the books to which we vehemently object as easily accessible to minors in our JMCL.   Our goal is not to ban these books, but that they be clearly labeled as 'sexually explicit' and moved to a location where minors (under age 18) cannot access them, adhering to TN Law. 

Additionally, we have found SOME of these books in our JMCSS Libraries and, according to law, have asked that they be removed at a  meeting with 2 people in Administration there on April 6.  They were shocked and agreed to do so.  As of 1-20-24, from what we can tell, many have been removed, but some still remain.  We are concerned, as well, regarding what teachers have in their own classroom libraries, and what comes in through the Book Fairs.  We are working on this.  If you want to be involved, please let us know.    

WARNING:  clicking below is intended for Age 18 and over.  Likely, seeing and  reading will be found offensive.  We share it here so that you can begin to realize, the offensive, sexually explicit nature of  the books/materials that our Jackson Madison County Library thinks should be easily accessible to all - and on which the Library Board has rejected the requests from fellow citizens.
