City Council hears an appeal of the library board's book decision and takes no action
The council discussed the Library Advisory Board's decision (item 8.D), with the Director of Library Services and City Manager Grayson Path answering questions, and later reached item 10.B, "Consider Appeal - Library Advisory Board Decision on Request to Remove Materials from Library." The minutes record "No action was taken," leaving the board's decision in place. The Director later told the board that Mayor Cole Stanley directed her at this meeting to revise the Materials Selection Policy.[1][2]

Director of Library Services (as recorded in the board minutes): On August 11, 2025 the Director told the board she "was directed by Mayor Cole Stanley at the City Council's meeting on April 22nd to revise the library's Materials Selection Policy, so our assessment criteria was more clearly defined and to emphasize the importance of parental involvement in a child's use of their public library."
