CONWAY — Conway Public Library Trustees are still being lobbied about a book titled, “You Know, Sex,” being shelved in the children’s room but which a group of concerned parents wants to be moved to a different part of the library.
Meanwhile, a library committee has determined that the book should stay where it is, in the children’s room.
