FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) —

A former Wyoming library director who was fired amid an uproar over books with sexual content has become the center of a heated debate on free speech and censorship.

The controversy began when several parents raised concerns about certain titles available to young readers, leading to widespread discussions in the community and local media coverage.

Supporters of the director argue that removing books from library shelves infringes on intellectual freedom, while opponents believe some materials are inappropriate for children.

As the debate continues, the incident highlights broader national conversations about the role of libraries, parental control, and access to information in public spaces.
