That figure places the district in the middle range compared to other Iowa districts tracked on this site, some of which report far fewer titles and others considerably more. Much of the recent activity in Iowa districts follows from Senate File 496, a 2023 state law that set new requirements for library materials and classroom content in K-12 schools, prompting many districts to review and remove titles from circulation.
