The new bookstore, located on E. 16th St. in downtown Indianapolis, focuses on books that have been removed from schools and libraries.
INDIANAPOLIS — There's a new bookstore in downtown Indy that's a first of its kind in the Hoosier state. It focuses heavily on books that you probably won't see in schools or libraries."I got some kids books to share with some of the kids I work with so that's amazing and some books I'm reading in a book club as well," Kim Waldo said. One of that's now focusing on making sure all stories are told.
"We're doing a big push to make sure that folks always have access to the stories that some people think shouldn't exist," said Leah Johnson, the owner of Loudmouth Books and award-winning author from Indianapolis.Credit: Matthew Fultz, WTHRGovenor Holcomb signed legislation that would allow parents or community members to ask schools boards to remove certain books from school libraries.
"We strongly feel that accurate history should be portrayed. We don't feel like banning books have anything to do with freedom in our nation," Maish said."Books convey knowledge, stories, empowerment and banning that is banning freedom.""It's not about protecting children. It's not about making sure that parents have the rights to choose what their children learn. it's at its core about the removal of queer people from public life.
