MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WGNS)- A Murfreesboro-based website is offering residents a way to request delivery of books that organizers say have been banned, challenged, restricted or otherwise made unavailable in local library collections.

The site, Borobannedbooks.com includes a “Banned Library,” a “Restricted Library” and a digital archive where visitors can search dozens of titles. The page states that users can select a book online and have it delivered to their door in Murfreesboro. It also includes links to read some titles online and a contact email for questions or recommendations.

The website says some of the books listed are not fully removed from the library system, but have been “challenged, restricted, or otherwise made unavailable.” A digital archive connected to the site shows 72 results, with many entries labeled “Banned By Cody York.”

The effort follows recent action by the Rutherford County Library System Board of Directors. The board’s official schedule lists a March 16, 2026, meeting at the Rutherford County Courthouse. Local reporting from MTSU Sidelines said the board voted at that meeting to move more than 190 books to adult sections of county public libraries, following age-appropriateness reviews. Board members John Curtis, Beth Duffield, Sam Huddleston, Susan Quesenberry, Darrel Thomas and Cody York voted in favor, while Allison Belt, Angela Frederick and Lynn Reynolds voted against the move, according to that report.

The website’s text says York presented nearly 100 books for removal and Duffield presented an additional 16 books to be restricted to adults only at the March 16 meeting. The book-access site also points users to local queer history resources, including an MTSU master’s thesis and podcast about queer life and student organizations in Middle Tennessee. It also includes a section for people looking for titles connected to Rutherford County Schools, saying many can be found at the Murfreesboro library or online.

The library board’s March decision has drawn public debate from residents on both sides, with some saying the move is needed to keep certain materials out of children’s sections and others saying it limits access to books based on viewpoint. Residents with questions about the independent book-access website can contact rutherfordbannedbooks@gmail.com
