Arizona HB2008 prohibits public school libraries from using public funds to pay for professional associations advocating for libraries and librarians.
Arizona HB2008, known as the "Library Freedom Act," amends state statutes to prohibit public school libraries from using public funds to pay for memberships or dues to professional associations dedicated to promoting, supporting, and advocating for libraries, librarians, and information services. This restriction does not apply to county free library districts, municipal libraries, or other entities that may contract with public schools for library services, books, or programs. The act aims to ensure that public school libraries do not use taxpayer money to support professional associations.
