Take a moment to read or re-read it & add your signature. (I just did.)
Libraries & publishers have their quarrels (& I take part in them). But this statement is a reminder that we share many interests & have a common enemy. Remember that 1953 was the height of the #McCarthyEra, which we see reviving all around us.

Update on #book #bans: "More than 1,200 [book] challenges were compiled by the [American Library Association, #ALA] in 2022, nearly double the then-record total from 2021 & by far the most since the ALA began keeping data 20 years ago…Last year, more than 2,500 different books were objected to, compared to 1,858 in 2021 & just 566 in 2019. In numerous cases, hundreds of books were challenged in a single complaint… #DeSantis has called reports of mass bannings a 'hoax.' "
