During a May 9 meeting of the Hanover County School Board, Cold Harbor District representative Steve Ikenberry names 17 books he thinks should not be available in schools.
A few dozen people sat on the lawn outside the Hanover County Board of Supervisors chambers ahead of its meeting Wednesday for a “read-in” to read and discuss books that are at risk of being removed from school libraries.
