The Collier County School District has placed advisory labels on 115 books within their school libraries.
The advisory, which is put on physical copies of the books in libraries and on the digital description on the district's library site, states, “This book has been identified by some community members as unsuitable for students.”
The advisory goes on to say that the decision on whether or not the book is suitable for students is up to the parents.
