Congratulations to the Ketchikan AK Librarians who made a statement at the 2024 Wearable Art Show. Advocating for the #FreedomToRead doesn't just happen at school board and city council meetings. @FTRF @OIF @PENamerica @EveryLibrary facebook.com/jess.n.trav/vid…

Thank you to @drchrisharris for eloquently explaining the role of school librarians in today's world of increasing attempts to censor collections. @ALALibrary #AkSchoolLibraries @AKLibraryAssoc thehill.com/opinion/4367768-…
The core value of librarianship is to respect the individual reading choices of each family while providing a collection relevant to all students.

We're loving the ASD shout-outs to Julie Doepken, Lisa Bunag, and Alyson Giammalva! We know that school librarians rock - it is nice to see them recognized by the district for what they do. #AkLearns #AkReads #AkSchoolLibraries asdk12.org/Page/19025

Did you know Fahrenheit 451 was published the same year as the Freedom to Read statement? I shared info about censorship with the juniors at my school today. Thanks again to @FTRF for the Conable scholarship! #AkLearns @AlaskaASL @OIF @EveryLibrary @UABookBans @PENamerica
We can't wait to hear from @abmack33 at #aste24 and we're glad that @Oprah is amplifying her situation. #FreedomToRead matters and no one should get death threats for defending the right to read. @OIF @FTRF @EveryLibrary @PENamerica @UABookBans @AKLibraryAssoc #AkSchoolLibraries
Congratulations Amanda @abmack33 - your work to defend libraries is being heard around the world now! @Oprah ! @ALALibrary @pink @nationalbook youtube.com/clip/Ugkx8a594JU…

It wasn't that long ago that libraries were not open to all. Read "The Neglected Tale of the Tougaloo Nine and their 1961 Read-In" to learn about these brave students who insisted they had rights to use the public library too. bit.ly/3ziDYA0
