POLICY WIRE — West, United Kingdom — No plans have been announced to withdraw David Walliams’ children’s titles from public libraries in the western region despite ongoing police scrutiny of the author.
Law enforcement continues to investigate allegations that Walliams may have engaged in serious sexual offences, fueling public debate over the presence of his works in community collections.

Outlets including the BBC, Wall Street Journal, AP News and The Times have reported on the investigations and the associated cultural criticism.
