This bill mandates that each public school district in Nebraska establish a policy to enhance parental and guardian access to school library information, effective at the start of the 2026-27 school year. The policy must include the creation of an online catalog that lists all books available in the district's libraries, organized by school building, which will be accessible to parents, guardians, or educational decision-makers.
Additionally, the policy requires that parents, guardians, or educational decision-makers be notified when their child checks out a book from the school library. This notification can be delivered through a website or application, or via email, and must include the title of the book, the author's name, and the due date for the book's return. The bill also clarifies the definition of "educational decisionmaker" as per existing law.
