They don’t ban books about rainbows. They ban books about Ruby Bridges walking to school. About Japanese internment camps. About Stonewall. About redlining. Every banned book is a thread they’re trying to pull before we see the whole tapestry of systemic oppression. #FightBookBans

"Beloved," "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," "The Bluest Eye,” “The Color Purple,” “The Hate U Give” - all banned. Notice a pattern? Book banners fear what Black women's stories teach: resilience, power, and uncomfortable truths about America. #FightBookBans #Booksky #BlackBooksky

Silencing stories doesn’t protect us—it robs us of knowledge, empathy, and truth. We must stand against book bans and fight for intellectual freedom for all readers.
Let books be books. Let ideas be explored.

When librarians invest their time and expertise to review challenged books, their professional judgment deserves respect. Proud to be part of the Rutherford County Library Alliance and proud to stand with our school librarians whose expertise keeps getting ignored. #ListenToLibrarians #FightBookBans
Last week at the Rutherford County School Board meeting, our board decided to turn their backs on our school librarians and ignore their recommendations on 10 books. The Rutherford County Library Alliance spent the remainder of the meeting standing with our backs turned to them in response.

Thanks to the knowledgable librarians who spoke out against the nation-wide tide of book challenges & bans! Books by LGBTQIA authors are particular targets. Thanks for noting how bans hurt authors & can lead to the loss of speaking & teaching gigs.

When school districts ban books from libraries, they're not protecting kids—they're building walls around young minds. Every removed book is a conversation silenced, a perspective erased. Our children deserve better than this. #FightBookBans
