Just 6 moms from Johnston, Iowa leading the fight against book bans in Iowa and spreading the JOY of reading by handing out free banned books. 11,500 books and counting! anniesfoundation.com
Ask your school board why “free country” stops at the school library door.

We think Ankeny's students deserve better. So here’s what they banned. Read them. Share them. bookshop.org/lists/ankeny...

Demand that your superintendent return the books to where they belong--on library shelves, where students can access them. Email your school board. Even better--go to your next school board meeting and speak during public comment.

The district has refused to return these books to shelves 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒘—leaving us to wonder: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬?!?!? .

Ankeny parents and community members: Your students deserve better.

In response the logical thing for a school district to do would be to restore their student's First Amendment rights and return those books removed under the unconstitutional law to library shelves.

That's a message we can get behind!

As part of our sponsorship, Annie's Foundation will give the first 65 families their very own copy of the story time book, 𝑁𝑒𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟, by Airlie Anderson.

We hope you'll join us at Drag Story Hour at Railroad Park in Historic Valley Junction at 11am on Sunday!

Come talk with us about book bans, learn about Iowa's book banning law, and get the facts on how books by or about LGBTQ people are disproportionally targeted for banning--and what you can do about it.
