Nottingham City Council has confirmed that they will not be removing author Julie Bindel's books from libraries across the city following the decision to cancel her talk on Saturday, June 25. Author Julie Bindel was due to speak at the library in Aspley.
The council released a statement after the talk was cancelled stating that the author's views were not aligned with its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy. Ms Bindel then travelled to the library to give the talk outside where she was met by protestors holding the transgender flags in support of the community.
Some of the libraries in Nottinghamshire have copies of the author's books which focused on feminism and women's rights. Lowdham library currently holds a copy of 'Straight Expectations: what it means to be gay today' while Arnold and Hyson Green libraries hold copies of 'Feminism for Women: the real route to Liberation' which was published in 2021.
