This year is the 70th anniversary of the Freedom to Read Statement, jointly written by the #ALA & #AAP in 1953.

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.
