LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Former Arkansas Sen. Jason Rapert was appointed to the state’s library board by Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday.

Rapert replaces Joan O’Neal and his term will expire on October 18, 2029.

The appointment comes as parents and Arkansas libraries have been challenging a law passed earlier this year that restricts access to books in public libraries. The law was temporarily blocked after a district judge’s ruling in July.

The law, also called Act 372, would have prevented the distribution of library books deemed obscene to minors and allowed library employees to face criminal penalties for distributing books considered harmful to children.

1. This is terrible.

We will probably lose 1/2 the books in the library.

2. I am worried that the library's will be closed for non-compliance with the administrations beliefs.

Maybe a list of allowed books and magazines. After all there is no constitutional right to libraries and books

6. I think we are a test ground for destructio of

all personal freedoms. You know, voting, learning, soon assembly will be banished.

3. Don't want them to see naught word.

Now log into Pornhub.
Take away phones and computers. Don’t burn books.

4. That does not bother them really, it is the thing of people learning history and other beliefs but theirs

5. Critical Thinking

Is a no-no.
