Did you know that the ALA recommends a number of things for us to do to support our library workers? Recommendations include following the news and social media to be informed of organizations working to censor library or school materials, programs or curriculum. Don't forget to show up at school or library board meetings. Remember the ALA supports a parent's right to restrict reading materials for their own child but not for all readers. Oppose legislation in your state. Educate family and your community about censorship and the First Amendment. Write to your local newspaper. Find and join organizations like the Freedom to Read Foundation.
