Stop Legislation that Would Arrest Librarians!

A number of states are introducing proposed laws that would allow for civil and criminal prosecution of librarians if a community member disliked the content of a book on the shelf. However, award-winning authors like Margaret Atwood, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and James Joyce have been caught in the crosshairs of ‘obscenity’ challenges. Groups like Moms for Liberty have gone after books about Seahorses for being obscene as well as books about Johnny Appleseed and Hurricanes. Even Winnie the Pooh was called into question for not wearing pants. That means librarians could go to jail over Winnie-The-Pooh. We can't let legislation like this stand!

Save Samuels Library, Vote No on a Warren County Library Board

We must protect the library that we know and love. Samuels is the place we went to growing up and now take our kids. We want it to be there for our grandkids. It has a legacy in this community. This library and the staff have stood up for our first amendment rights and it is our time to stand up for them.  We have to tell these Supervisors that this is not want Warren County voters want.

Stop the Purge of Library Books in South Carolina

The South Carolina State Board of Education (BOE) recently banned seven books from all public schools in the state.  Because the State Department of Education passed an overly broad book banning regulation in July (43-170), State BOE members were not required to read the books before voting to ban them. Sign and Share this petition and tell the State to fix the regulation so that books can’t be banned based on excerpts taken out of context, and without the common sense consideration of a book's overall literary value. Data and Privacy: By signing this petition I acknowledge that I may receive periodic updates from EveryLibrary and the Freedom to Read SC Coalition members, from which I can opt-out at any time.
