   Pride Month is being celebrated throughout Fresno County, including in   
   public libraries.   
      
   Books about LGBTQIA+ characters are featured books in some libraries,   
   including in downtown Fresno and Clovis.   
      
   "I received a complaint from one of my constituents, and there's been   
   several. That prompted me to do kind of a personal fact-finding   
   investigation. So I visited three libraries in my neck of the woods,"   
   said Fresno County Supervisor Steve Brandau.   
      
   Brandau said he visited the library branches in Woodward Park, Fig   
   Garden, and Clovis and told Action News Supervisor Nathan Maggsig   
   visited the branch in downtown Fresno.   
      
   "I found some stuff that I thought should not be marketed to children at   
   Fresno County libraries," said Brandau.   
      
   Brandau would not elaborate on which books were the root of concern for   
   the supervisors or specifically what topics were included in the books.   
      
   "There's books talking about parents and how their skin color, eye color   
   can vary and in that same regard their gender identity or who they find   
   attractive is different as well," said Jason Scott, executive director   
   of LGBT Fresno.   
      
   Scott visited the Clovis library and said he did not see any reason to   
   be concerned over the age appropriateness of any of the books displayed   
   in the children's section.   
      
   "The things are not threatening, they're not trying to change your   
   children's gender identity or sexual orientation," said Scott.   
      
   This comes at a time when school districts and counties in other states   
   are banning books depicting LGBTQIA+ characters.   
      
   Brandau said he is hoping the conversation about what is allowed in   
   children's sections of county libraries will continue over the next few   
   weeks.
