Tell Congress: Protect the Freedom to Read
Every day, libraries change lives.
A child discovers their first favorite book. A teenager finds a story that helps them feel seen.
A parent brings home resources to support their family. Libraries open doors to knowledge, opportunity, and understanding. That is the power of access to books.
But across the country, that access is being challenged.
TAKE ACTION TODAY!
Send an email to your legislators urging them to support the Right to Read Act and the Fight Book Bans Act.
Send a postcard to support both!
Efforts to remove books and restrict what students can read are creating uncertainty for educators, librarians, and families. When access to ideas is limited, students lose opportunities to learn, grow, and think critically.
Right now, Congress has a chance to move in a better direction.
The Right to Read Act would strengthen literacy by supporting school libraries and ensuring students have access to books and professional librarians.
The Fight Book Bans Act would help protect students’ ability to explore diverse ideas and prevent politically motivated efforts to remove books from classrooms and libraries.
