SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (NEXSTAR) - More libraries in Illinois are being pressured to ban books off their shelves, according to the American Library Association. In 2022, the ALA registered 67 book banning attempts in the state, up from 41 in 2021. Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, who serves as the State Librarian, said far-right groups are behind the push of book banning. He says they want books written by or featuring LGBTQ people and people of color off the shelves. "These efforts have nothing to do with books," Giannoulias said. "Instead, they are about ideas that certain individuals disagree with and believe no one should think or be allowed to think." Hundreds of books banned in 2022 Giannoulias is proposing legislation alongside Rep. Anne Stava Murray (D-Downers Grove), Rep. Carol Ammons (D-Champaign) and Sen. Laura Murphy (D-Des Plaines) to prevent more book bans from happening in the state. “This radical movement to ban books cannot be allowed in the state of Illino...
