Public libraries are supposed to be places for communities to gather and learn, with an important focus on being a place for kids to gain access to information. But thanks to a moral panic in the GOP about “indoctrination” in libraries, it seems that at least one library has decided to shut its door to children.

Maybe. If the books are still available then it leaves the opportunity for parents/guardians to get the books for their kids. Which does still suck because I remember going through the library and grabbing every book I wanted. That certainly has contributed to my lifelong love of reading
Still, parents take their kids to library most of the time anyway, so kids can still get the books. Possibly this motivates parents to get more books for their kids to stick it to the GOP. I see this as a viable work around personally
