In this bonus episode, we discuss current and proposed legislation involving banned books. We mention different forms of censorship; examples of bills and laws that restrict books in schools and public libraries; and ways that we can fight censorship. It is essential that we oppose these types of laws and contact our elected officials.You can find more information about censorship and organizations that fight it on the Resources page on our website (theroguelibrarians.com/resources).Some of the sources mentioned in this episode: https://bookriot.com/states-that-have-enacted-book-ban-laws-2022/ https://bookriot.com/book-ban-legislation-2023/ https://www.slj.com/story/censorship-attempts-will-have-a-long-lasting-impact-on-school-library-collections-slj-survey-shows https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/censorship https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom#:~:text=ALA%20actively%20advocates%20and%20educates,right%20in%20our%20democratic%20society https://www.ala.org/advocacy/fight-censorship?utm_source=ala&utm_medium=topbanner&utm_campaign=redesignThanks to Chris for our music and to Lizzie for our audio editing (for all of our episodes)!
