Ok, y'all - HB168 (#library directors) has been RENAMED HB974 & sent to the full HOUSE. We need to start writing letters to our Representatives!! We have an easy action you can take here: la-cac.org/hb-974-action PLEASE SHARE!! #lalege #censorship #libraries #librarians
@ByPiperHutch @LAGovJeffLandry I don’t know….might need to take a look at the Capitol murals for obscenity and not the libraries. Think of the children (on field trips)! 🙄
HB 168 passed favorably out of committee. Next stop is the full House. We will keep you updated on when it's scheduled.
#Louisiana citizens, pay attention to what is going on with Louisiana #libraries. Elections matter.
This was posted by the #Lafayette Public #Library Board of Control today. They are using official social media accounts to smear the very library they have promised to protect. Elections matter. Protect your library and library workers.
More information about the library bills and their potential impact. *Note* All but HB168 have been rescheduled. Only HB168 will be heard this week (as of now).

We have SIX anti-library bills being heard in #lalege next week. We already killed one bill and it came back the next week like the main character in a soap opera. Sadly, these are the days of our lives…fighting the destruction of our libraries in Louisiana. @LACitAntiCensor
Books about sexual assault aren’t pornographic. Schools are banning them as ‘obscene’ anyway. Via @19thnews @IlluminatorLA lailluminator.com/2024/04/18/ban…
“Amedée could provide no examples of obscene books in K-12 school libraries.” Because there aren’t any! They just want to harass and vilify librarians. Use common sense. #lalege theadvocate.com/acadiana/news/…

As #lalege considers gutting Louisiana's public records laws, here's a look at how instrumental they've been at exposing all kinds of big issues in the state. Would Ray Nagin have gone to prison if not for public records? Would we know about Ronald Greene? nola.com/news/politics/…
5 of the 6 anti library bills pulled so far. Let’s keep kicking this can until it’s empty.

Actual footage of #lalege posting anti-library bills on the agenda and then yanking them back…..except they haven’t figured out the librarians will ALWAYS be ready with facts, prepared to speak truth. @LACitAntiCensor
Meanwhile in Lafayette, Louisiana…..
This was posted by the #Lafayette Public #Library Board of Control today. They are using official social media accounts to smear the very library they have promised to protect. Elections matter. Protect your library and library workers.
