Whether or not to move “Gender Queer: a Memoir” by Maia Kobabe from the young adult section in the Taylor Public Library was the main agenda item for library’s advisory board meeting Aug. 8.
The book, which recalls the author’s personal story of dealing with gender identity, has led to conflict between LGBTQ+ advocacy groups and opposing parties concerning its content and importance.
The advisory board passed a motion to advise the library’s director, Karen Ellis, to move the book to a section designated for adults. Ultimately, Ellis will have the final say on if the book remains in the young adult section, moves to another section or any other action.
