The banning of books won’t be allowed within New Jersey now that Gov. Phil Murphy has signed the Freedom to Read Act. The law assures a full review process before any books are taken off of shelves at schools or public libraries.

Book titles like “When Aidan Became a Brother,” “Welcome to St. Hell,” “Stamped” and “13 Reasons Why" have been banned in some states for sexual content or LGBTQ themes.

These are also books that are now within the “Sanctuary Section” at the Hoboken Public Library, run by Director Jennie Pu.

“We stand for your right to choose what you want to read,” says Pu. “If someone objects to a book we will consider that but we don’t take it off the shelves.”

Pu has been threatened for allowing books like these on library shelves and supports a parent's right to decide what their child can and cannot read.

She supports the law the governor signed which requires a full review before any book is removed.

In a school setting, that review must take place by a committee including the superintendent, employees and parents. And only those with a vested interest in the school may ask for a review of a book.

The law also goes a step further by protecting librarians like Pu from civil or even criminal prosecution This is a portion of the law that some strongly disagree with, including Republican Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia who says, “I have been opposed to this since its infancy.”

Fantasia says she's all for the freedom to read, expression and diversity within books. But she says when it comes to sexually explicit material, she draws a line.

“We could’ve easily protected the freedom to read and the fear of book banning without offering broad immunity to a whole class of employees who are now immune to civil and criminal liability,” Fantasia says.

She wants accountability for any sexual or obscene content library or school staff make available for children. And Fantasia isn't alone. Right now, there are 17 states considering bills to prosecute librarians.

The assemblywoman says she will push New Jersey’s next governor to have this law reversed.

But for now, Murphy says he is protecting the choice of students to read what they choose.

“Our children deserve the opportunity to see their own stories reflected on the shelves of our libraries,” Murphy said during the Monday bill signing.
