This bill mandates that each public school district's school board in Nebraska adopt a policy by the beginning of the 2026-27 school year to enhance parental and guardian access to school library information. The policy must include the creation of a catalog of all library books categorized by school building, which will be accessible to parents, guardians, or educational decisionmakers of students. Additionally, the policy requires that these individuals be notified when their student checks out a book from the school library, with notifications available through a website, application, or email. The notification must include the book's title, author, and due date for return.

The bill defines "educational decisionmaker" in accordance with existing law and specifies that the new access policy applies only to school libraries located on school district property, explicitly excluding other public libraries, even if they contract with the school district for student use. This legislation aims to promote transparency and parental involvement in students' reading choices within school libraries.
