Somewhere between here and who I’m becoming……
Carla Hayden’s firing is a disgrace. The first Black woman Librarian of Congress, dismissed without cause, for doing the vital work of modernizing and diversifying our national library. 🥺

This your reminder that librarians, authors, educators, residents, parents, and students are actively fighting all across the U.S. for books, the people they represent, and libraries.

Extremists are actively trying to destroy libraries. And books. And people.

I will not be silent. Will you?
A massive thread of resources, history, information, and material to help you not only fight and understand book censorship but protect the incredible democratic institutions of public libraries and public education.

This is updated regularly!
