Posting another article about this because it has shown up everywhere.

“The library system in this suburban Atlanta county says it won’t buy any more thrillers, romance novels or other works of adult fiction in Spanish.

Last week, the library board in Gwinnett County–where 1 in 6 residents is Hispanic–eliminated the $3,000 that had been set aside to buy Spanish-language fiction in the coming fiscal year.

The board offered no explanation, but the chairman said such purchases would lead readers of other foreign languages to demand the same treatment.”
