The women are inspired by efforts elsewhere in the state and nationwide, and have already asked for a review of four books they deem troubling for children to read.
bnGail Walton and Cathy Odom say they do not want books banned from the Mobile Public Library, but they are going forward on an attempt to have a few of them reviewed by library officials that they deem troubling for children to read.
“We are fighting a culture war,” said Walton, a Mobile resident who is heading up efforts challenging books in libraries in Mobile County that include transgender lifestyles and include the concept of gender fluidity. She is also pushing against the library’s continued participation in the American Library Association,“We are concerned not just about books, but all materials offered to the children in the children’s section,” Walton said.
