IF YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES: Call school and library administrators and board members, city councilpersons, and eleceted representatives to ask them to support the right to read. IF YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES: Check out a challenged book. Circulation matters! Circulation data can be used to support keeoing cjallenged books on shelves and to justify ordering more books by the same authors or in the same topic. IF YOU HAVE 30 MINUTES: Write a letter or email. Write to local scholl and library boards and elected officials to ask them to defend the right to read for the entire commuity. Make a public statement for the right to read by writing a letter to the editor in your local paper. FInally, a letter can show library staff, educators, authors, and vulnerable readers that you support them.
