Librarian Fired Over Trans Book #shorts #transrights #trumpadministrationLaVonnia Moore, a librarian in Pierce County, Georgia, was fired in June after featuring When Aidan Became a Brother—a children’s book about a transgender boy—in a summer reading display shaped by community input. The book had been suggested by a young patron and aligned with Georgia’s official 2025 theme: “Color Our World,” celebrating diversity and creativity.
But her inclusion of the book prompted swift backlash from a local conservative group, the Alliance for Faith and Family, which accused Moore of “mental manipulation” and lobbied elected officials to act. Within days, Moore was dismissed by the Three Rivers Regional Library System for a “poor decision in the line of performance of duty.”
The firing has drawn national attention amid a rising tide of censorship efforts targeting LGBTQ+ content in public libraries. Moore’s story follows years of local tension: Pierce County residents have increasingly protested Pride displays, LGBTQ+ book clubs, and trans-inclusive policies. In response, library systems in the region have shifted governance structures, and the Georgia Senate recently passed a bill to sever ties with the American Library Association.
GLAAD condemned Moore’s dismissal, stating, “No one should lose their job for doing their job. Book banners and other opponents of LGBTQ people shouldn’t get to censor or dictate what is available to other families and readers.”
Moore has since launched a GoFundMe to cover legal and living costs, raising over $14,500. “That book still exists in the collection—because it belongs there,” she wrote. “It reflects real families. Real kids. Real love.”
Now facing the potential need to leave her hometown of 46 years, Moore remains resolute. “The library is a public space,” she said. “All community members should feel welcome inside it and have equal access to its resources.”
