A U.S. appeals court is set to review its prior order that mandated a Texas county to keep eight banned books on public library shelves. The books, which cover topics such as sex, gender identity, and racism, were initially removed, leading seven library patrons to file a lawsuit against county officials. A U.S. district judge ruled last year that the books must be returned. The federal appeals court in New Orleans will now reconsider its decision.
