Researchers @UNCG confirm what librarians know to be true, reading books of their own choice makes teens better readers. Read about the added benefits they discovered. ➡️ buckscountybeacon.com/2024/0… #UniteAgainstBookBans

How Teens Benefit from Being Able to Read ‘Disturbing’ Books That Some Want to Ban - Bucks County...

Students who read and talk to each other about stories with social themes report greater motivation to read, greater use of reading strategies, and insight into human nature than those who do not.

NPR's All Things Considered takes a look at the most borrowed books at public libraries in 2023. One thing is certain — no matter what genre or format you prefer — your next great read is waiting at your local library. npr.org/2023/12/29/122191227…

Public libraries reveal their most borrowed books of 2023

Not all libraries track checkouts, and there isn't one definitive national list. But this year lots of people checked out Lessons in Chemistry, Prince Harry's memoir Spare, and Colleen Hoover's books.

Thank you to President @BarackObama for supporting libraries and the freedom to read. And thank you to all library workers on the front lines "fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone." #UniteAgainstBookBans

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.
