~  usurps local city or county control of its libraries by limiting their responsibilities and authority; 

~  insults the local library’s trustees and staff members (who work so conscientiously and diligently to be of service to their community) for not now doing their jobs responsibly;

~  dictates to local folks that the state knows better how to run their local governments and raise their children than they do; 

~  promotes censorship and discrimination (since libraries will only be permitted to purchase what a committee approves, rather than to meet the needs and interests of the whole community as library staff now does when they select materials); 

~  establishes another level of governmental bureaucracy which will deny the rights of all parents to guide their own children’s use of the library and its resources and services;

~  is anti-parent - allowing those 5 adults (not even required to be parents) to dictate to other parents what their children should/can read in the library:  parents are still the best overseers of their children’s reading;

 >  creates 5-adult-panels with no checks or balances who are not responsible to the local library board of trustees (or any other local authority) for supervision (since local library boards of trustees {or anybody else} have no oversight authority along with no process for questioning a panel’s decision);

~  imprison and fine library staff with no due process or appeal if they don’t do what the committee orders [a Class A misdemeanor subject to a fine or term of imprisonment or both]; and 

~  is anti-Christian (all Bibles will have to be removed from libraries because its sexual content does not meet the “age-inappropriate sexual material” standard set by the bill).
