Lichfield District Council motion about LGBTQ+ material in libraries

Posted on | by Will I be next?

A council could be set to condemn Staffordshire County Council over the controversial decision to remove LGBTQ+ materials from libraries. A motion which is set to be presented to Lichfield District Council next week will warn the decision risks fostering prejudice and restricting freedom of expression.

Last month during Pride month the Reform UK-led county council announced it would no longer feature LGBTQ+ displays. Instead the council said that libraries should focus on the core offer of reading, learning and connecting residents to wider council services.
