Original Note:
In Indiana, material that is “harmful to minors” contains nudity, sexual content or sado-masochistic abuse, appeals to the prurient interest in sex of minors is not in public school libraries. These books are still available via private retailer and in private libraries. https://www.idsnews.com/article/2023/05/indiana-governor-holcomb-bill-book-ban-school-library-minor https://www.wthr.com/article/news/education/bill-to-allow-banning-books-indianapolis-indiana-moves-to-governors-desk/531-562776ba-b5ff-4a1f-a959-6a8bd252d3c5
