The meeting comes amid attacks on libraries nationally. Some in Prattville have complained about books with LGBTQ+ content in books.
The tense gathering Wednesday lasted three-and-a-half hours, with some speakers getting cut off for personal attacks and one sharing the results of Open Records requests about the controversy. The large doors of the meeting room had to be opened to the outside had to be opened to abide by occupancy codes, and board members and attendees fanned themselves with paper due to the heart. At least five armed law enforcement officers and an EMT were present.
The board asked her to stop speaking, saying her comments were a “personal attack.” Bass said that she was “speaking from the heart” and her mind. The reading of the messages led to an uproar from the crowd, with some attendees shouting that it was a personal attack, and the Board left a few minutes early for lunch. When the board returned, they said they had voted at lunch, not publicly, that Kamerer’s comments were personal attacks, and he would not receive his time back.
“Having these books moved to maybe an adult section or a section on their own seems a very reasonable workaround for some of the outrage that’s been going on,” she said. “I would also like to propose that it be required in your policy that anyone submitting any book for review have a valid library card,” she said.Some members of the board called for the removal. Trustee Monica Carroll, who read a sexually explicit passage from The Mirror Season after recommending attendees remove children from the room, said the community should follow procedures to help identify those books from the library.
