The Hamilton East Public Library Board has suspended its collection development policy that led to the relocation of books, including John Green's "The Fault in Our Stars," from the teen section to the adult section. The decision comes after weeks of controversy and debates over what constitutes "explicit" material. The board unanimously voted to evaluate their book review process and halt vetting more books until further notice. The future of the other young adult books that were moved out of the teen section remains uncertain. The board's conservative majority will soon shift as new members join, and the library staff will use the collected data to reevaluate the policy.
