Appeals court reverses ruling in Texas book ban case
May 27 2025
Dealing a blow to the freedom to read, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has reversed a district court’s preliminary injunction and dismissed free speech claims in Little v. Llano County. The lawsuit, filed in April 2022 by seven Llano, Texas, library patrons, concerns the removal of 17 books from the Llano branch library. Plaintiffs have 90 days following the decision to decide whether to appeal to the Supreme Court.
