Anti-censorship and pro-book advocates prevailed in Montgomery County on Tuesday as a children’s book about indigenous history was returned to its nonfiction categorization.

Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs was moved to the fiction shelves of Montgomery County public libraries earlier this month. The move followed a decision made by the Montgomery County Citizens Reconsideration Committee, a group of community members that reviews children’s, young adult and parenting books.
