Shadow Banning Books in Orange County Schools

February 11, 2022

Help Keep School Librarians in the Educators for America Act of 2022

January 03, 2022

We are thrilled to see that school librarians were included in the Educators for America Act when it was introduced in Congress on December 9, 2021 (117th). Ensuring that school librarians remain in the definition of an “educator” is critically important to the future of school libraries.
