Driving the news: State Rep. Sahara Hayes (D-Salt Lake City) recently announced on Instagram that she planned to celebrate national Banned Books Week by placing titles that are banned in a Utah school inside Little Free Libraries.
That led to accusations that she was distributing “explicit content” to children in violation of Utah laws.
Zoom out: Brooke Stephens — a leader with Utah Parents United who called for Hayes’ prosecution and has previously mobilized parents to report librarians to police — argued last week that owners of Little Free Libraries should face prosecution if they make “obscene” material available.
