"Any proposal to defund the library is the nuclear option. It's an attack on education, it's an attack on the public good. And the idea is very much alive and gaining steam." — @OIF Director Deborah Caldwell-Stone npr.org/2023/05/04/117… #UniteAgainstBookBans

The @ALALibrary documented 1,269 demands to #censor library books and resources in 2022, the highest number of attempted book bans since ALA began compiling data about #censorship in libraries more than 20 years ago. #RightToRead #BookBans #BannedBooks #UniteAgainstBookBans

A small, but vocal minority are cynically attempting to ban books on slavery, race, political ideas they disagree with, and criticisms of people and events in U.S. history. About 9-in-10 voters say books on these topics SHOULD NEVER BE BANNED. Survey: milibraries.org/statewide-surv…

“Kids need different kinds of books. Sometimes they need to find themselves in books. That’s not necessarily a book for everyone, but it’s a book for that person. Books can save lives, I know this for a fact.” @judyblume @PageSix pagesix.com/2023/05/01/aut… #UniteAgainstBookBans
