An Alabama library system flagged Canadian author Marie-Louise Gay's children's book, "Read Me a Story, Stella," as potentially "sexually explicit" due to the author's last name. The library system had added the book to a list of 200-plus books to review and possibly move out of the children's section. The list also included other books featuring LGBTQ themes. After facing criticism for targeting the LGBTQ community, the library system halted its efforts and stated that decisions on moving library materials would be made by library staffers without outside involvement.
