The public library is one of the most powerful ideas ever. Walk in with nothing—walk out with a world of knowledge. That kind of freedom is priceless. On Right to Read Day, let’s remind everyone that libraries are worth fighting for. #NationalLibraryWeek #BookSky 💙📚 #TLSky
Colorful illustrated poster showing people walking into a public library under a banner reading "Drawn to Freedom." Above the library, images representing knowledge and freedom—like books, music, cooking, voting, technology, peace, and invention—float in a cloud. The bottom text reads: “I LOVE MY LIBRARY – RIGHT TO READ DAY – APRIL 7, 2025.” Hashtags include #RightToReadDay and #DrawnToFreedom. The poster is by Unite Against Book Bans, with artwork by Nate Powell.

It’s #RightToReadDay!

Reading opens the world. Books open minds—and doors. But censorship slams them shut. Let’s stand up for our freedom to read, to learn, to explore, and to belong. Our libraries and librarians make that possible—let’s have their backs. #DrawnToFreedom

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

A quick sketch of Grayce from The Deep & Dark Blue, my most challenged/banned book, for #DrawnToFreedom #RightToReadDay , organized by @uabookbans.bsky.social . Check out their account for info about today's movement 📘
Grayce from the graphic novel The Deep & Dark Blue reads a book while a saiga antelope looks over her shoulder. The words "DRAWN TO FREEDOM: Right to Read Day April 7, 2025" are above her head.
