John Green's popular young adult novel, "The Fault in Our Stars," has been removed from the teen shelves at Hamilton East Public Library in Indiana due to a new policy targeting books deemed not "age appropriate."

The library board's policy focuses on language about sexuality, profanity, and criminal acts.
