  3. SEND AN EMAIL: Don't Criminalize Schools, Libraries, and Museums in North Dakota

CONTACT GOV BURGUM: Veto HB1205 and SB2360

Legislation in North Dakota would subject every employee of a school library to criminal prosecution for the books on the shelves of their library.

SB2360 would criminalize schools, colleges, universities, museums, public libraries, and art galleries under state obscenity laws and looks to proactively redefine the Miller Test for obscenity. This has been settled law for over 50 years. HB1205 requires public libraries to remove books based on anyone's vague belief that a book is explicit. As we've seen in other states, this allows for politically motivated organizations and individuals to weaponize book challenges in order to remove books from entire communities based on their political and personal beliefs.  

Join the North Dakota Library Association and EveryLibrary in asking him to Veto these bills.
