 Unite Against Book Bans is a national initiative on the part of the American Library Association, one of USBBY's valued patron organizations, to empower readers everywhere to stand together in the fight against censorship.
Unite Against Book Bans believes: - Reading is a foundational skill, critical to future learning and to exercising our democratic freedoms. - Books are tools for understanding complex issues. Limiting young people's access to books does not protect them from life's complex and challenging issues. - Individuals should be trusted to make their own decisions about what to read. - Parents should not be making decisions for other parents' children. - Young people deserve to see themselves reflected in a library's books. At our March 2024 meeting, the USBBY board voted to co-sign as a Partner of Unite Against Book Bans. Learn more about their toolkit, talking points, book resumes, and other resources to help you fight censorship efforts in your community and beyond. |
