LaVonnia Moore dedicated 15 years to serving the Pierce County, Georgia, community as a librarian. Five years into her role as manager of the local library, she organized a summer reading display focused on community engagement and diversity. Despite the intended celebration through the 2025 theme, 'Color Our World,' she faced backlash after including the book 'When Aidan Became a Brother,' which addresses transgender identity. After the display's installation, a local conservative group targeted her leading to her termination, raising questions about inclusivity in public libraries.
LaVonnia Moore spent 15 years fostering curiosity and creating inclusive spaces at the Pierce County library. In June, she was fired for including a book about a transgender boy in a summer reading display.
Moore invited the community to curate a colorful display for Georgia's 2025 summer reading theme, 'Color Our World,' which aimed to reflect the diversity of the community.
