More than 100 kids, parents and teachers alike braved the threat of rain Wednesday in Nampa to get their hands on books recently banned by the city’s public school district.

At the headquarters of the Nampa School District Monday evening, Nancy Finney, a veteran librarian at Nampa High School, reminded the district’s school board members of the lives that the board’s book ban is impacting.

The Treasure Valley literary community is trying to combat a decision by the Nampa School Board last week to ban more than 20 books from its shelves over their sexual content.

Bills to outlaw transition-related healthcare for transgender kids and criminalize librarians for lending “harmful” books to minors seem dead on arrival in the Idaho Senate.

House Republicans overwhelmingly approved of criminally charging librarians who knowingly expose minors to “harmful materials.”

House lawmakers could soon consider whether prosecutors could criminally charge librarians for allowing minors to check out sexually explicit materials.
