Somerset School District

Wrapping up this brief Newsweek with an update.

Maryland's Somerset School District delays a decision to restrict YA books.

Over the last couple of months on the Book Fair podcast, we have covered a controversial policy proposal in Maryland where Somerset County School Board wanted to restrict books labeled as young adult to only students over the age of 18.

Critics of the policy noted how literary classics like To Kill a Mockingbird and The Diary of Anne Frank would not be available to most students under this policy.
