The sign is real and part of a troubling trend affecting librarians, communities, and free speech rights nationwide, due to censorious legislation such as Idaho's House Bill 710.
The law outlines 'obscene materials,' including 'homosexuality,' with vague definitions, leading libraries to introduce measures like age restrictions to comply.
Libraries failing to comply with the law could face hefty fines and unlimited damages, potentially resulting in closures for already financially strained institutions.
The Idaho library sign requiring photo ID for the adult section went viral on Reddit, showcasing the impact of such censorious laws on libraries and patrons.
