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
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.
That law has led at least two suburban school districts to place disclaimers on Little Free Libraries, free-standing outdoor displays where people are encouraged to share books. 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.
