Dankzij nieuwe wetgeving kunnen leerlingen op de scholen in het district Mason City (Iowa) iets minder boeken vinden in de schoolbibliotheek.

Senate File 496 includes limitations on school and classroom library collections, requiring that every book available to students be “age appropriate” and free of any “descriptions or visual depictions of a sex act” according to Iowa Code 702.17.
