A Texas county could close its public libraries because of a battle over which books belong on the shelves
| Photographs by Jordan Vonderhaar for The Wall Street JournalLeaders in a Texas county are considering closing its public libraries following a federal judge’s order to place recently removed books back on the shelves.
The Commissioners Court of Llano County is expected to meet Thursday afternoon to weigh whether to halt operations at its three libraries until it receives further guidance from federal courts, according to a public notice. U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman ordered the county’s libraries to return about a dozen books to their shelves two weeks ago in response to a lawsuit brought by seven county residents and library patrons last year.
