## Resource

Bismarck Public Schools is rolling out a new, streamlined system letting parents officially control what books their kids can check out from school libraries—giving families the power to set boundaries based on their child’s needs and values. Whether it’s limiting scary stories or guiding reading preferences, parents can now easily opt-in via an online form, replacing the old phone-based process. The district already curates age-appropriate collections, but this update puts decision-making firmly in parents’ hands, helping ensure library choices support each child’s well-being and development.
