TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) -- Hillsborough County Public School Superintendent Van Ayres will meet with state leaders Wednesday to discuss removing certain library books.

This comes after Ayres was criticized for his handling of the situation during a school board meeting Monday night.

In a recent letter sent to the district, the Florida attorney general demanded that Hillsborough County Schools pull several books immediately, calling them "patently pornographic" and harmful to minors.

"I need to ensure that we don't have these materials. We had a letter from the state attorney general that stated that we did have materials that were inappropriate," Ayres said.

In response to the letter, the superintendent ordered hundreds of books on a state list to be removed from shelves and reviewed.
