CNN ran this story w/ us almost THREE years ago. Then, we never thought it could go this far in America. But to repeat - Librarians take the job to help kids. And certain stories are still being targeted. @cnn @txla cnn.com/2021/12/21/us/…

Books aren’t killing students in their classrooms.

Proud to be part of two of these titles(and knowing the author of the 3rd one!) that help the public understand book bans. Thanks SchoolLibraryJournal for highlighting these resources. Rebekah Modrak Amanda Jones: Defender of Libraries & Wonder schoollibraryjournal.com/story/3-profes…
