As we fight for the long-term future of federal funding for libraries in Congress & in the courts, it's critical that our elected officials CONTINUE to provide annual funding.

Bibles in AP US Gov in particular is a big story, especially if the College Board gets away without commenting on it
Pay attention to Oklahoma.
Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story.
The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.
Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.

In PA, the state Supreme Court race will be extremely influential for book bans/challenges that come up. So will many other downballot races. Please, PLEASE show up to vote.
The election you should be focusing on takes place on Tuesday. You can probably vote for the school board, the library board, maybe sheriff, local officials and offices that shape your community. Do you have a plan to vote?
