The City of Huntington Beach is moving forward on June 22 with a proposal to require the city’s libraries to screen children’s books for obscenity and pornographic content.

The City Council voted 4–3 to approve the proposal, introduced by Councilwoman Gracey Van Der Mark, which directs the city manager and city attorney to develop several different screening methods and present them to the board in September.
