Community Library Network Director Alexa Eccles read an overview of censorship as provided by the Idaho Commission on Libraries as she and the board of trustees held a special meeting Friday morning. "Censorship is the suppression of ideas and information that certain persons, individuals, groups or government officials find objectionable or dangerous," she read. "It is no more complicated than saying, 'Don't let anyone read this book or buy that magazine or view that film because I object to it."
