An Idaho library’s sign went viral for requiring patrons under 30 to show photo ID to access an adults-only section. This stems from House Bill 710, passed by Idaho’s Republican-led government, forcing libraries to reclassify challenged books, including LGBTQ-themed children’s books, as adults-only. The law is part of a broader trend of censorship in red states and could expand nationwide if former President Trump is reelected and enacts Project 2025. Libraries face a $250 fine for violations, with no cap on damages if sued.
