Key takeaways
Palm Beach County schools have pulled 1,800 library books and begun reviewing them amid pressure from the state.
The books were removed from school libraries as part of a review. The action involves 1,800 books across Palm Beach County schools.
The review is taking place under pressure from the state. The development puts the school system’s library collection under state scrutiny.
The books are not currently available in the school libraries from which they were pulled while the review takes place. The review’s outcome and any decisions about returning, keeping or removing individual books have not been announced.
The school system’s action is a local response involving its library books. The state’s role is described as pressure on the district to conduct the review.
Palm Beach County schools will have to complete the review of the 1,800 books before the status of the collection is clear. Any later decision about the books would determine whether they return to library shelves or remain out of circulation.
