Ready... Set... Take Action for Libraries! To celebrate #TakeActionForLibrariesDay, we're making our voices heard in Congress. Join us by telling your House Rep to OPPOSE censorship legislation like HR 7661 & PROTECT the right to read. Take action: www.ala.org/conferencese... #NationalLibraryWeek

From Jan. 2025 - March 2026, 100+ pro-censorship bills were introduced in state legislatures. At least 40 bills would penalize libraries and library workers with lawsuits, fines, or even jail time for protecting people’s the right to read. This #RightToReadDay, take action: https://bit.ly/43D9Dtw

From threats to (and victories for) intellectual freedom, to increasing services for incarcerated people, to a whirlwind of legislative and legal battles, 2025 proved pivotal for our nation's libraries.
