Yet another reminder, we are the majority
Parental restrictions on library access continues to remain incredibly unpopular for a fourth year in a row.
The vast majority of public school parents are not looking to limit their children’s access in the library.

Malinda has been doing so much incredible work for the cause both behind the scenes & being a public figure for the right to read. Would love to see, I don't know, 10 donations to AABB in her name today. Be a great way to thank her for her work.

💎🔍Catching a thief that stole jewels from the Louvre? Julieta's been there, done that.💅
To find out how she did it, read Julieta and the Diamond Enigma — a smart middle-grade mystery about a diamond gone missing from the Louvre & the spunky girl who cracks the case. www.leeandlow.com/books/juli...

a win for the freedom to read! (and yes, don't be silent in the face of book banning!)
They restored all the titles & I want to point out that the reasoning was (stars are mine lol):
"... and in light of the *****overwhelming feedback from our community****** the Georgia HRRB State Steering Committee has voted to reinstate all 20..."
so, BE LOUD AS HELL & PROTECT THE RIGHT TO READ
