#StopBanningBooks tip of the day from Book Riot: "Get a library card for your local library or go with a friend to get them signed up. ... Have a card and it has expired? No time like the present to renew it. Library card sign ups indicate an interest and investment in a public good."

This is the Iowa I'm proud to know. This, not the politicos who have hijacked my state's government:

#libraries #books #literacy #booklove #stopbanningbooks #bannedbooks
Post on the other site by Ty Rushing, as follows: "Iowa has a little over 3 million people and there were 10 million library visits in FY22. "1.5 million people attended one of the nearly 87,000 programs put on by one of Iowa's 544 public libraries that same fiscal year. "Iowa's also 4th nationally for number of public libraries."

Banning books 📚 is the first step in making society dumber and a dumb populace is easier to control. Don’t let them. #stopbanningbooks

Meta is trying to stop the distribution of this memoir by Sarah Wynn-Williams. I just downloaded the audio version on @librofm. Buy it if you can, order it from your local bookshop, request it everywhere: #booksky #stopbanningbooks #besubversivereadabook #bookbanning #meta #oligarchs

It’s frightening how some people in power want our teens to grow up learning complex, difficult parts of life from somewhere other than a published, vetted book. These “prohibited” topics, teens are learning about them anyway. #stopBanningBooks

The books were removed without formal review by school board members, librarians, teachers or parents less than 24 hours after an emailed request to Rutherford County Director of Schools James Sullivan from a school board member.

THE GOP'S WAR ON EDUCATION IS A WAR ON TRUTH

They're banning books, rewriting history, and brainwashing our kids with propaganda.

We've got to fight back against this Orwellian nightmare!

If it wasn’t for me having access to read or watch a show about sexual abuse I would not have connected the dots that I had been sexually abused. Access to this kind of information saves lives.

#USpol #USpolitics Better to reassure students they're not alone. Even if times get tough there will be others working to protect their rights, like the #RightToRead and #StopBanningBooks! 😍 📚

My teenager reports that his teacher reassured students that they wouldn’t be affected. Really? says I. Are there girls at your school who might need abortions? Are there transgender students at your school? Are there students who are immigrants or whose parents are immigrants 🤬🤬🤬 etc etc

People who ban books are control freaks who spend far too much time meddling in other peoples lives.
They need a better hobby… like reading!
