#Americans must reject threats to our right to read and believe as we wish and demand well-resourced #libraries in every institution of learning. Now is the time for all Americans to show up for our libraries. Show up and use our libraries. Show up at library and school board meetings to support students’ access to diverse reading materials. Show up when elected leaders are deciding the fate of facts and the #freedom to read.” —#ALA
