Twenty-three items—mostly routine business—were part of the agenda of the Llano County Commissioners Court meeting on March 10; but only one issue, library reaccreditation, prompted residents to stand up and comment.
“I’m pleased to see that the county is finally ready to turn the page on the approach it has taken to library management over the past four years,” said Leila Green Little during the public participation portion of the meeting. Little is one of seven local library patrons who filed a federal lawsuit against Llano County almost three years ago in U.S. District Court in Austin. The lawsuit is ongoing. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and these have been two small but important steps in the right direction.”
Little was referring to the push for reaccreditation and a settlement in the works regarding a Llano County librarian who was fired after resisting the book removals that occurred in 2021.
