Action 1: Check out a challenged book. Yes, it seems simple and it is. Libraries track lots of statistics, including when books are used in or checked out from the library, which help prove that people want these books. Need some suggestions? We got you: ala.org/advocacy/bbook… 
Action 2: Make a plan to attend board meetings. These are the primary battlegrounds where book challenges are being fought, making this one of the most critical actions you can take. We've adapted a great resource from @PFLAG to help you: uniteagainstbookbans.org/right-to-read-…

Dear Bookworm,

In honor of #NationalLibraryWeek, I'll pass along this lovely tidbit from the history of the @OnslowCoLibrary. The main library is located in the City of Jacksonville, just off Gum Branch Road.
In the early 1980s, I served as president of our county chapter of NC Right to Life. During my tenure, I was a library patron. Back in the day, the library had a film lending program. You could check out films and a projector.
For example, together with a group of friends, I screened a film version of the miniseries "Holocaust," which featured, among others, @RealJamesWoods. We also screened pro-life films, including Bernard Nathanson's Silent Scream.
