This is the kind of legislation we like to see-- a ban on book bans in the state of California.

We stand in solidarity with Melissa Ronning, the principal librarian of Huntington Beach Public Library, who resigned from her post after 4 extremist council members sowed distrust and fear in her community. instagram.com/reel/C6FkXSPRp…
Utah is up against it right now, be sure to give this article a read. Book bans have graduated from just the random spouts of anger to organized and legislated. We all need to fight.

A Conroe ISD Teacher Is Taking The Fight Against Book Removals Into Their Own Hands houstonpress.com/news/over-two-…

We're very proud of AABB member, Donna Gephart for getting involved and for using her voice!

The board took no action, and the book is retained for jr high & high schools. Thank you for using your voice @DGephartWrites. Your words, both in Lily & Dunkin and those you shared with board members making decisions about what books to remove vs retain, had an impact.
Last night @ConroeISD school board heard a level III appeal, filed by a community member who objected to a formal reconsideration committee’s unanimous decision to retain the book Lily & Dunkin by @DGephartWrites in junior high and high school libraries.
This comment by Board President, Skeeter Hubert (who is no “woke liberal” as he just ran in the primary for a Republican seat in the House of Representatives), demonstrates the power of authors speaking up, and writing, to defend their work- and the work of their peers.
A new #BannedInTheUSA report from PEN America highlights school book bans from the fall 2023 semester. Between July and December 2023, we recorded over 4,000 book bans—more than the entirety of last school year. More: pen.org/press-release/… #BannedBooks #FreeTheBooks
Join us at DSD’s next School Board Meeting to ask the School Board to respond to our press release and explain why it removed or restricted books without explanation. fightforthefirst.org/events/dsd-sch…

Author @marinaomi knows Everyone Poops isn't porn. It's a fact of life. (And if you didn't know that, no shame! We have a book for you!) But city ordinance 4318 in Huntington Beach treats it like sexual content! @EveryLibrary @PENamerica
