Loudoun County Votes to Restore Library Bill of Rights

Staff -- Library Journal, 1/31/2000

Five years after apparently becoming the first library to distance itself from the American Library Association's Bill of Rights and Freedom To Read statement after having adopted them, the Board of Trustees of the Loudoun County Library, Leesburg, VA, voted 5-3 to reinstate them. A former trustee told the board that ALA's anticensorship canons had been eliminated from library policy in order to allow the potential removal of certain items from the library's collection.
