CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) -- A Pride display leads to controversy in Clovis as community members voice concerns about children's access to LGBTQ+ books in county libraries while supporters say they're being silenced. The controversy was fueled by a letter which was addressed by Clovis' City Manager to the Fresno County Board of Supervisors about community concerns. It was a three-hour-long meeting, with dozens of people speaking out on both sides of the issue. By the end, the Clovis city council voted not to do anything with the letter - but individual council members could still send their own letters about the books.
