Never in recorded history has a four-year-old found his father’s loaded book and accidentally killed his younger sister with it.

BUT WE BAN BOOKS NOT GUNS

Librarians need to decide what books to offer in their libraries; not the government or a few individuals.

"Books are for use." (Ranganathan's 1st law of library science)

Book bans and censorship had no place in the 1600s. They have no place now.

A literal handful of bigots are responsible for like 90% of bookbans. A half dozen British terfs flood the internet loudly enough to sound like a crowd of transphobes.

A few hundred ICE swarm into a single city to give the illusion of being an army.

South Carolina pulled our book I am Billie Jean King from school libraries because it mentions her sexual orientation. If you live nearby, make your voice heard at the next school board meeting. #books #bookbans @aclusc.bsky.social
Lexington-Richland 5 officials pulled the children's book "I Am Billie Jean King" from school libraries because it mentions the tennis champion's sexual orientation. This is blatant content-based discrimination and it cannot stand. www.thestate.com/news/local/e...

Chilling. #bookbans
South Carolina Superintendent Ellen Weaver got her book banning regulation passed, and now my kids' school district won't let students borrow ebooks via a public library partnership beyond the "Juvenile" collection. "YA" and "Adult" books are off limits even for high schoolers.

Fighting matters. Keep fighting! Love you all! #books #booksky #bookbans

Get to work, readers! #bookbans
Here are the anti-library & pro-censorship bills already prefiled for the 2025 legislative session across the US. It's your job to keep tabs on these, write your representatives, & speak up about the dismantling of public institutions of access + democracy.
