For months, residents and lawmakers have attended APLS board meetings to hear and express concerns over the inclusion of sexually explicit and LGBTQ+ promoting books. Ivey began her correspondence with Pack in September. Several prominent lawmakers also sent letters to the APLS board, intimating they would use their legislative discretion to direct funding based on the board's actions.
During Thursday's meeting, Doyle launched into a monologue, chastising Ivey and the legislature for alluding to cutting library funding.
"I don't know how, when, where or who got to the state legislature and the governor's office," Doyle said. "And to have them threaten to take our budget away from us because of all this controversy is just wrong."
