Idaho Public Libraries Restricting Public Access to Comply to State Censorship

I posted about Texas to the Pro and Con group's "Book Banning" topic, but 1700 miles away in Idaho....

Homeschooled students and everyone else not viewed as an adult lost direct access to their public library in Donnelly, which in an attempt to avoid lawsuits under Idaho's HB710, is now an adults-only facility.

Afterschool programs outside of the library will continue.

Libraries in the state that have more physical space are restricting access either by closing entirely to the public or blocking off the children's area while reordering their materials.
