And remember to thank your librarians. These folks have been under horrible verbal attacks, both individually and as a group for the past year. And they keep on doing amazing work! Our communities are better because of them.

I can’t even. If you’ve asked “what can I do about book bans?” please leave a comment on this atrocious proposa.
Call to action for Alabama! Leave a public comment on a truly terrible proposal that would ban "positive descriptions" of trans people in libraries. www.erininthemorning.com/p/positive-d...
"Positive Depictions" Of Trans People Banned In Alabama State Libraries Proposal
The code change that has been proposed does not ban negative depictions of transgender people, however. Public comment is open until October 14.

Libraries nationwide are joining @bklynlibrary.bsky.social's Books Unbanned. “That’s really what the library is about. The freedom to read..We respect that everybody’s different & everyone’s got different needs. And it’s not our business to tell you what to do with those books” #UniteAgainstBookBans
More and more books are being banned. SoCal libraries find a solution
Long Beach and other SoCal libraries have joined the Books Unbanned effort, providing children as young as 13 a free e-card to access e-books and audiobooks.
