"“This settlement is groundbreaking as far as we're aware,” said Halpern. “It's one of the first, if not the first public settlement in the country on behalf of a librarian who's been terminated for these types of issues.”
In addition to paying Parks $250,000, the library district agreed to change its policies, including implementing a review process that gives librarians a voice in deciding which programs are offered.
“I think it's going to be a big help for librarians to be able to safely speak up,” said Parks."
