I don’t see how the law doesn’t require libraries to go 18+ to be free of liability.
The language in this law is extremely broad. If anyone finds anything that they find objectionable in the children’s section, they can sue the librarians.
There’s literally no way to protect yourself against this but to bar all children from the library, unless they have parental supervision. This ensures that the parent remains liable since they have become an obligated chaperone while inside the library.
There’s no way to actually remove all the “offensive” content from the children’s section, because there’s no way to actually know what books that the extremists this law was created to enable will object to next.
That it has the added effect of humiliating the Republicans who passed it by showing what it logically leads to, and angering parents who can no longer drop their kids off at the library, may be helpful in opposing this, but it looks like it’s just the predictable result of short-sighted reactionary lawmaking.
