Officials in Florida's Manatee County School District are scrambling to comply with the state's recently implemented law demanding transparency in school libraries.
Teams of volunteers have been combing through and cataloging the books in the county's roughly 60 schools. They flag any questionable books for review by certified specialists.
Some teachers have covered up their classroom libraries out of fear they could face felony charges under the law that was enacted last year.
"We've got to go classroom by classroom and start to catalog all the books in these classrooms to make sure that they're in our system if they're an approved book," Kevin Chapman, the district's chief of staff, told the Washington Examiner.
"Because that's the law of the land right now in Florida, and if you're found to have an inappropriate book in your classroom, you can be now charged with a third-degree felony."
Explicit material, particularly pornographic material, is prohibited from classrooms under the policy, which was signed into law last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
