as a kid, the library was a refuge, especially during the summer when there was nowhere else to go.

If there are unrestricted library card, that leads me to believe that there are restricted library cards. Which further leads me to the question of wtf is a restricted library card?

What's the context? Is this for the entire library or just an "adult" section?

Stupid either way, but I would like to know even so.

Restricted probably means you have fines on it and they aren't letting you use it until you pay.

i can understand if there's an adult section of the library but it shouldn't be required to enter the library as there are kids sections for kids to enjoy books.

https://localnews8.com/news/2024/07/01/new-library-legislation-sparks-outrage-and-protests-from-idaho-democrats/

Horman denies claims by state Democrats that the law is the equivalent of a book ban. She believes the new legislation is necessary for keeping mature material out of the hands of minors.
"We're not preventing parents if they want to go to the bookstore and buy these books to show their children or request, from the library," said Horman. "Back in the day, pornography used to be in the checkout stands in grocery stores, and, there were laws passed that said you just need to put it behind the counter. And that's the equivalent of what we're asking here, is that children be protected from, materials that are obscene and inappropriate for their age.

ah yes, lets restrict kids from accessing the blatant porn plaguing our libraries shelves

It's the entire library. Basically the new Idaho law gives parents the ability to challenge a book via a request for reconsideration form, saying that the book is harmful to minors and should be moved out of sight into an adults only section. Basically censoring the book. The library has 60 days after that form is submitted to either agree to move it, or to decline. If the library declines to move it, the parent then has the right to take the library to court, to prove to the court that the book is harmful to minors.

The library in the picture is a small library that doesn't get city funding and has a small budget. And they're against the bill. So they decided that rather than fighting parents that want to censor books in court and going bankrupt from the court fees, they just made the entire library adults only, so that parents don't have the ability to challenge the books as "harmful to minors." This info comes from a librarian on Reddit that says most libraries in Idaho are not going this route and are instead going to just fight the "reconsiderations" as they come in.

It sucks, but this is what happens when conservatives introduce shitty new bills.

So in short, this library is specifically saying you need to be 18 to enter, or be with a parent, because they don't want to put up with any whining and litigation from people who want to challenge books.

This isn't every library?

This is dumb. It seems to me that if I had this much issue with the library books on offer I would just never take my kids there and forbid them from going, rather than tell other parents what their kids can't read.

You remember the scene from the film adaptation of the Michael Crichton book Sphere where every single cupboard and closet in the kitchen/break room area had nothing except countless copies of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea pouring out from them when they were opened?

Yeah, thats gonna be Idahos public libraries real soon, but with Bibles instead.
