Today we remember those who fought to hold the United States accountable to the ideals laid out in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Happy Fourth of July.

The Fifth Circuit Court’s recent ruling regarding the removal of books in Llano, Texas has made its rounds in Alabama. Read Freely Alabama wanted to clear up misinformation we’ve seen circulating among our anti-library extremists. While such radical rulings are concerning, context is important. 1/x

Please call these legislators and share the truth with them!

They need to know that reasonable Alabamians trust our librarians and we want to STOP HB 4

Anti-library extremists are using typical scaremongering and disinformation to bully AL legislators into passing HB 4, the "jail librarians" bill. But we have the facts! #readfreelyalabama #alabamapolitics #alpolitics #alreps #censorship

Age appropriate sex education materials should remain accessible for the ages they're intended, and extremists do not have the right to limit what your children read. Tell John Wahl that.
