Officials in Llano County, Texas, have voted not to close the county’s library system after a federal judge last month ruled that dozens of books containing sexual and racial content be returned to shelves after they were banned.

The Llano County Commissioners Court voted unanimously to remove an item from their agenda during an April 13 meeting considering whether or not to “continue or cease operations of the current physical Llano County Library System pending further guidance from the Federal Courts.”
