My Books Save Lives Act makes it clear: discriminatory book bans are a violation of federal civil rights law.
I held a read-in at All She Wrote Books in Somerville to announce this bill to fight book bans and emphasize the importance of inclusive literature.

So I'm from Virginia. I currently live in TN and I also lived here as a teen. It's a little complicated.
Anyway, the Rutherford County PUBLIC library is where I spent a lot of time as a tween/teen. It shaped me. It saved me. This is a PUBLIC LIBRARY not even a school.
And I'm proud of *Luanne.
