Alabama library directors will review 82 books flagged as potentially inappropriate for children.

The Alabama Public Library Service received dozens of submissions since publicizing a complaint form last month for “parents concerned about the appropriateness of some resources available to children and teenagers in the state’s public libraries.” The submissions cover a wide range of books – from Amish romance novels to Rush Limbaugh retellings of historical events. The list is intended to help librarians review books and will not necessarily prompt any local book bans.

APLS director Nancy Pack said an additional 43 submissions were removed from the list because the submitter didn’t complete the form or because their address wasn’t in Alabama.

“This includes some that made statements about the list and did not provide any titles,” Pack said. The list will be used “as a tool” for library directors. The list isn’t publicly available on the service’s website but anyone can request a copy using Alabama’s Open Records Act.

Pack said the library service’s executive board decided not to include the submitters’ names in the public record.

State staff will not confirm if the individual books are in Alabama public libraries. Pack said additional funds were spent on the list’s creation but didn’t provide an exact amount. In a previous interview with AL.com, Pack estimated the database would cost $70,000 to $80,000.

The list includes 23 books deemed inappropriate by Clean Up Alabama, an organization challenging books statewide. Sixteen of those books have LGBTQ characters or themes.

Notable inclusions are 15 Amish romance novels written by Linda Byler, five “Left Behind” books, five “Rush Revere” children’s books by Rush Limbaugh, and five books about divorce.

Submitters disagreed with specific sections of the books. Others disagreed with the entire premise of the book. These books include Rosiee Thor’s “The Meaning of Pride,” Being You: A First Conversation About Gender,” “Door By Door: How Sarah McBride Became the First Openly Transgender Senator,” “My Rainbow,” and “Red, A Crayon’s Story.”
