State restrictions on books that can be made available to Iowa students have prompted some Des Moines area school districts to post disclaimers on Little Free Libraries.
A school district spokesperson didn’t respond to an email and phone message from The Associated Press seeking a comment about the disclaimer.
“They are intended for free book sharing, and because it is a community resource that we believe the broader community appreciates, we currently do not have plans to remove any from district property,” Buck said.
