The Sumner County Library Board voted to let library directors create parental-resource sections in children’s areas, directing that "books in question" be placed on top shelves in staff view when possible and at directors' discretion after public debate over transgender-themed materials and legal risk.

At a Sumner County libraries work‑study, public commenters urged removal of titles they said promoted transgender topics from children’s sections; board members and library directors debated parental resource shelving, local curation, and next steps after a letter from Secretary of State Trey Hargett.
