Arkansas library directors said they have several unanswered questions about how a 2023 state law restricting access to library materials will be enforced after a federal appeals court ruled that it can go into effect. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted the injunction on two sections of Act 372 on July 30 but the formal order for the ruling to take effect hasn’t been issued yet. Adam Webb, executive director of the Garland County Library and president of the Arkansas Library Association, said he hopes the appeals court’s mandate comes with clarity on how to enforce language that a lower court deemed unconstitutionally vague. The plaintiffs against Act 372 claim that the approach by Crawford County, which is also a defendant in the case, “is exactly what will happen everywhere” under Act 372, Coulter said. Coulter said he finds it frustrating that the state’s attempts to police library content imply that libraries and librarians are unsafe for children.
