It is stunning and I'll look forward to seeing it once it has been "released" from its imprisonment.

Quote from Daniel handler that says all books are problematic. Every single piece of writing is upsetting to someone. We cannot spend our time removing books which offend us personally, or all the shelves in the world will be bare, and then the entire world will be very upset, indeed.
Book bans don’t “protect” kids; they erase perspectives, silence voices, and narrow our shared imagination. A free society thrives on stories that challenge, unsettle, and expand our thinking.
Let’s keep our shelves full, not empty.

Some good news! A federal judge struck down Florida's book ban law (HB 1069) as unconstitutional, ruling it violated First Amendment protections for school libraries. The victory protects authors' rights and students' access to diverse literature.

A federal judge ruled that canceling 1,400+ NEH grants causes REAL HARM to scholars and the public. The court ordered preliminary relief for all affected grantees. What's next? A possible trial. We’re in this fight for the long haul.

This is Government Censorship in its Plainest Form, States EveryLibrary
EveryLibrary responds to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals' Little v. Llano County decision, which will allow the government to remove or restrict access to books from public library shelves.
"In this ruling, a majority of the Fifth Circuit has embraced a doctrine that not only permits but also constitutionalizes the removal of books from public libraries by government officials for ideological reasons," reads the statement from EveryLibrary.

Library Wars Archives • Michigan Advance
LIBRARY WARS The Michigan Advance is reporting on an effort at libraries across Michigan to create barriers to books with LGBTQ+ content or themes in what has become a second front in the culture war...
Michigan Advance has been reporting on the latest front in the effort to ban or restrict access to books, almost always with LGBTQ+ content, at libraries.
This new policy of “sequestration” is book banning in all but name.

It is the responsibility of libraries to guarantee
and facilitate access to all expressions of knowledge and intellectual activity, including those which some individuals in our society may consider to be unconventional, unpopular, or unacceptable.

Moving books is still censorship! Labeling books is still censorship! Can't get any simpler...Libraries welcome all, have a diversity of books available for all, believe in the first amendment for all, and trust their qualified and educated librarians to do the work they are trained to do!
