ALA Spreads the Word About the Freedom to Read Community Day of Action on Oct. 19
ALA and the Unite Against Book Bans campaign announced the Freedom to Read Community Day of Action on Oct. 19, 2024. More than 100 events are already planned by libraries around the country.ALA notes, “Organized in partnership with the Brooklyn, Queens and New York Public Libraries, and the Association for Rural and Small Libraries, the Freedom to Read Community Day of Action is in response to the wave of book banning and censorship that started gathering momentum in 2020. Coordinated attempts to censor reading material continue to impact schools and public libraries nationwide, threatening the First Amendment rights of all Americans.” On a related note, Oct. 7–11 is National Voter Education Week, and ALA is offering the Inspiring Future Voters book list and Reader Voter Ready resources for libraries and community leaders.
