The Llano County library system will continue operations as legal issues play out in the courts.
A special called meeting was held on April 13 by county commissioners to discuss whether to "continue or cease operations of the current physical Llano County library system pending further guidance from the federal courts."
Some speakers read explicit, sexual content in books that they said were on library shelves and marketed to children. When FOX 7 visited the library before the meeting, it appeared the 17 books had been checked out. However, one parent told FOX 7 there are over 250 books still in the library with graphic or pornographic content that some in the community are concerned about.
