IndyStar: HEPL revokes controversial policy

This local news blog is a one-man-band (me) so I cannot be everywhere all the time.  I was covering another story which resulted in my missing the Hamilton East Public Library (HEPL) board meeting Thursday.  The Indianapolis Star was covering it.

Reporter John Tuohy says the board revoked the controversial policy moving some books from the young adult section to the adult collection.  The vote was 5-1.  Micah Beckwith voted no and Tiffanie Ditlevson abstained from voting.

Ditlevson, who will be assuming a seat on the Fishers City Council January 1 of 2024, announced she will be resigning from the library board at the end of 2023.

There is much more to this story.  You can read the IndyStar piece on this meeting at this link.   If you are not an IndyStar subscriber, you may not be able to access this story.  Once again, I urge you to subscribe to your local media.  Online subscriptions to the Indianapolis Star are not that expensive.
