I just heard that the NH legislature sent HB324 to Gov. Ayotte today. It needs to be vetoed. Pls help her understand how wildly unpopular a bill that criminalizes educators and school librarians is. @everylibrary https://t.co/RqtYTv6vlW

No Book Bans Coalition w/partners (MomsRising, ACLU, NEA-N.H., AFT, Engage N.H.) stage "read-in" outside @KellyAyotte office urging her to veto HB 324 that critics label as a book ban that could sanction teachers. #nhpolitics

We have to keep the pressure up in New Hampshire to encourage the Gov to Veto HB324. It criminalizes school librarians, educators, and even school boards by allowing spurious prosecutions over art, English, science, and school library books. https://t.co/RqtYTv5Xwo

We are helping the @nclaonline and @NCSLMA power their campaign to oppose H636. This anti-access bill would create unconstitutional barriers to the right to read in school libraries. https://t.co/fL4qPDngJk

🧵For four years, Florida has led the country in rolling back the freedom to read and learn in public schools. Florida has banned more books in school libraries than any other state and erased topics like race, historic injustices and gender-related information from classrooms.

The book bans continue in FLA, and @EveryLibrary's Fight For The First platform is integral to pushing back and putting the books back on the shelf in these campaigns. https://t.co/g6FhIywiS7

[John Chrastka @MrChrastka]

This is the kind of coordinated advocacy and activism work that I am most proud of. @readfreelyAL makes a huge difference for libraries, free expression, and civil rights across the state. I am proud of @EveryLibrary's partnership with them.

@EmeraldGlobal and @EveryLibrary announce a series of informational webinars beginning in mid-April. The inaugural event will provide an overview of the evolving policy and funding environment in the U.S. by EveryLibrary Institute Executive Director @MrChrastka.

From the announcement in the @scholarlykitchn ...

"It took many decades to develop the infrastructure that makes the U.S. a world leader in research and innovation, and it will take many voices to defend it. We urge other stakeholders in the scholarly publishing ecosystem to support the work of the EveryLibrary Institute."
