Illinois has become the first state to legislate against the banning of books in public libraries, a practice that has been on the rise across the United States as conservatives look to suppress some books dealing with race, history and LGBTQ topics.

    Very surprised that it was Illinois of all places to pass such legislation first. Good job Illinois!
