With the start of Banned Books Week, you may be wondering how to understand and combat censorship: ✅ Speak at school board or library board meetings ✅ Support your school, public, and academic librarians ✅ Get a copy of That Librarian by Amanda Jones: Defender of Libraries & Wonder, read it, then read it again

Its #BannedBooksWeek and your support matters now more than ever! According to the @americanlibraryassociation, the number of titles targeted for censorship at public libraries increased by 92% over the previous year, accounting for about 46% of all book challenges in 2023.
