Dozens of books that were removed from public libraries by officials in Llano County, Texas, due to concerns over their sexual and racial content must be returned to shelves, a federal judge ruled on March 30.

U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman, in his preliminary injunction, ordered county officials to return all of the books, which cover multiple topics such as transgender teenagers and critical race theory (CRT), within 24 hours of his ruling.
