Tennessee County Bars Sex Offenders From 19 Libraries

Library Journal: Registered sex offenders are now barred from stepping foot inside any of the 19 libraries in Knox County, TN, following an executive order issued Sept. 12 by county mayor Tim Burchett. It’s believed to be the first such ban enacted in the Volunteer State, and within days the policy yielded its first arrest as well as a rebuke from the ACLU of Tennessee.
