A federal appeals court has ruled that the Constitution does not guarantee the “right to receive information” in public libraries. It’s a case out of Texas. Patrons of a library in suburban Austin sued over the removal of books that had racial and sexual themes.

Judges on the Fifth Circuit dismissed their Free Speech claims. Their decision makes it clear that “no one is banning (or burning) books.” If a disappointed patron can’t find a book in the library, they write, it can be ordered online or borrowed from a friend.
