Librarian Defends LGBTQIA+ Books

Luanne James, former director of the Rutherford County Library System, was fired after refusing to move over a hundred LGBTQIA+-themed children’s books to the adult section — a move she called a violation of the First Amendment. Standing firm for intellectual freedom and diverse representation, James sparked national attention and earned accolades from advocacy groups. Now, supporters rally behind her with a trivia fundraiser to defend the freedom to read, proving that libraries remain vital spaces for all voices — especially those too often silenced.
