This bill will make New York schools more resilient against book bans and affirm trust in librarians to appropriately curate robust library collections.

Join PEN America in expressing your support for students' right to read and ask Governor Hochul to prioritize signing this bill into law.

Tell Gov. Hochul to Protect the Freedom to Read in NY

I urge all New York state residents to write Governor Hochul to prioritize and sign S1099, the Freedom to Read Act. This bill supports New York school librarians’ expertise and helps affirm students’ right to read.
