Moved to Adult SectionThe book was moved from a juvenile/children's section to the Adult section as a restriction. It remains in the collection but is no longer accessible to younger patrons browsing the kids' area.

Flagged on the Rutherford County Library System March 16, 2026 board meeting packet summary page with 'Age Appropriate Concerns' including mature themes about gender, LGBTQ content, sexual activities, sexual nudity, violence, profanity, and explicit alternate gender ideologies. The board vote cited compliance with the October 27, 2025 letter from Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett directing county libraries to review children's materials for age-appropriateness and comply with President Trump's executive order on 'defending women from gender ideology extremism'.
