They're lying.

SB 13 = Book bans.
It lets politicians and censorship councils decide what Texas kids can read — banning books they call “profane” or “indecent.”
Call your Rep and tell them: VOTE NO on SB 13.

Who’s really behind book bans?
It’s not just concerned parents… 72% of book censorship efforts come from pressure groups and government officials. Only 16% come from parents, and 12% from others like teachers or library users.

Trump's late Friday EO cutting the Institute of Museum and Library Services (which funds museums + libraries w/critical and carefully-reviwed grants) is PLAINLY ILLEGAL. Congress created the IMLS!

Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA.
The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out.
Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding.

Here's a Carnegie library in a small Illinois farm town.
I became friends with the librarian as I so frequently visited the library. I also worked there in high school.
I loved that library, and I love my New England library as well.
Public libraries are public good!
