For those counting that's now FOUR national book banning bills that are moving their way through. This one seems to be a senate companion to 7661 (much of the same language). Call the senate re: 2616 and 4925, call the house re: 8705, 7661 And as always, fuck censorship 📚

📚 The worst library job I had was as a manager at a branch with A LOT of problems, including a daily creepy caller. I demanded we take action to protect the staff, but I got no support from the administration. He only wanted to speak to the women, so I implemented a new rule... 👇
