I believe that the text of the proposed bill is here: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2025/TOB/S/PDF/2025SB-00523-R00-SB.PDF . It's the first clause: " (1) prohibit public and school libraries from excluding or censoring books because of the origin, background or views of the material or of its authors, or solely because a person finds such books offensive;". Right now, it's pretty clear that the reason no copy has been purchased in MA it that the librarians requested find the views offensive. "All" you have to do is take them to court claiming, and you can substantiate it, that that was the reason they refused to buy the book. A favorable review from "The Times" should always be adequate, they can't say it's insufficiently well known or not of sufficient quality or any of the usual excuses.
