Colorado Public Radio: In early April, the Elizabeth School District was ordered to return 19 titles that they removed last year from their school libraries to the shelves.

School officials and a principal say they have since returned the books, but lawyers for the plaintiffs in a case challenging the removal say they haven’t gone to take a look in person. And while they say the books should be there in compliance with court orders, they don’t know for sure. 

The school district of about 25,000 students — across a handful of schools in a rural, rolling community south of Denver — removed the books last year. At issue were themes in the 19 books that the school board and some parents felt were inappropriate. After a lawsuit was filed challenging the removal, the school district was ordered this spring by a federal court to return the books to its school libraries.
