CONROE, Texas (AP) - A
woman who helped fight efforts
to ban two young adult sex edu
cation books from Montgomery
County library shelves has been
awarded this year's
PEN/Newman's Own First
Amendment Award.
Jerilynn Williams, director of
the Montgomery County Library,
will receive a $25,000 prize, at
PEN'S annual gala on April 22 in
New York City.
Last August, commissioners in
Montgomery County, located
north of Houston, agreed to
temporarily remove two books,
"It's Perfectly Normal" and "It's
so Amazing," both by Robie H.
Harris, after complaints, particu
larly from the conservative
Republican Leadership Council.
The group objected to what it
described as the books' pro
homosexual stance and explicit
illustrations.
Williams worked to convince a
review committee looking into
the books to put them back on
library shelves.
In early 2000, she was criticized
for not supporting Internet filter
ing on all public access comput
ers. After commissioners unani
mously voted to have filtering
Won
software placed on all d •*
