Bondi library returns book How to Sell a Genocide to shelves after State Library ‘outlines the law’

A Sydney library has reinstated a controversial book titled How to Sell a Genocide after initially removing it for review following a complaint. The decision came after a public petition and an official letter from the State Library of New South Wales intervened in the matter. The book, which critiques Israel, had been flagged by a Jewish news outlet before its temporary withdrawal. The library’s reversal highlights ongoing debates over free speech and access to materials in public collections.
