What you need to know
On Aug. 27, City Council will discuss and either vote to reject or affirm The Community Standards Review Advisory Committee’s vote to move “Big Wig” by Jonathan Hillman to a higher shelf in Helen Hall Library, thus only allowing adults to check the book out.
The committee, founded in February 2023 to review books League City residents flag as offensive or inappropriate, voted on July 31 to relocate the book. Only two of the committee’s six members were present for the vote.
City Council was originally going to consider the issue at its Aug. 13 meeting but chose to postpone both the discussion and vote until a later date.
What else?
“Big Wig” is the first library book the committee has voted to relocate. Previously, the committee considered relocating another book, Granddad’s Pride, but voted against moving it.
