as a result of the controversy, gwinnett county public library created a "parental advisory" category for books deemed suitable only for adults, allowing parents to give consent for their minor children to check those items out. the library also created an advisory board to review the process for handling residents' complaints about library materials, and on the advice of county lawyers the library later opened those meetings to the public. ultimately, the library made it easier to request removing books from the library, on the advice of the advisory board, because the old form had been "too complicated".
