NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — The New Braunfels ISD school board voted to re-open its secondary school libraries on Thursday night.
Last week, the district decided to temporarily close its libraries to middle and high school students, describing it as a “responsible step” to review all library books to comply with the new law.
The law, which took effect in September, changes how public school libraries select and manage books, prohibiting materials deemed “harmful” or “indecent.”
