School librarians have been at the forefront of censorship backlash. I have been working to change that by advocating for pro-library legislation for ALL library workers. I have also been vocal against book bans & misinformation about the work of librarians. #andreajforALAPresident

I’m advocating for pro library legislation because libraries are pro democracy. I’m also advocating for more protections for school librarians who have had to bear the brunt of public backlash #libraries #librarians #schoollibrarians
