I am a frequent visitor to the Provo library with my children. Recently, I've observed an increase in the library's LGBTQ+ content for children. On our last visit, without realizing it, we checked out two books with lesbian content. I propose having a clear labeling system for LGBTQ+ books, and a specified section in which they are put in the children's area of the library—similar to holiday-themed, princess, ABC, and other grouped books at the library. This will allow parents to make informed decisions that align with their family values. This isn't a call to ban or remove these books, but rather a request for transparency for parents like myself who wish to easily know what books and media their children are checking out.

Such transparency would not only respect parental choice but also ensure that each family is able to decide when and how they discuss LGBTQ+ information with their children. Implementing such changes is the best way to honor parents' ability to choose, while respecting freedom and diversity. By establishing a policy that requires LGBTQ+ library materials to be labeled and put in a specified section, the library can foster an inclusive environment where all patrons feel that their freedom of choice is respected.

Sign this petition to support labeling and putting LGBTQ+ library materials in a specified section. Your signature can make a difference in promoting informed, respectful, and inclusive library practices.
