Calling all readers, library lovers, and advocates! It’s the Monday of #NationalLibraryWeek, and we’re kicking things off with #RightToReadDay. Suit up, because it’s time to protect your freedom to read. Let’s get started. uniteagainstbookbans.org/right-to-read-…
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-…
Action 3: Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper or to your elected officials. Don’t worry, no postage required - you can do it all online. Find helpful tools and examples to help you craft your message here: uniteagainstbookbans.org/right-to-read-…
Action 4: Report censorship. @OIF tracks challenges to library materials and resources and can provide support for libraries and library workers facing censorship attempts. Reports are completely confidential: ala.org/tools/challeng…
Action 5: Join the #UniteAgainstBookBans campaign to stay alert with updates, tools, and future actions to help fight censorship. Already signed up? Share with a friend or family member. #RightToReadDay uniteagainstbookbans.org/take-action/
