From April 7–13, communities across the U.S. will come together for National Library Week, the annual celebration of libraries and library workers. This year's theme, "Ready, Set, Library!" is more than just a catchy phrase—it's a call to action for Americans to rediscover the treasure trove of opportunities libraries offer.

The American Library Association is set to unveil the 2024 State of America’s Libraries Report, revealing the Top 10 Most Challenged Books of 2023. 📖 Discover how libraries are innovating amidst unprecedented attacks on the freedom to read.
In 2023, 4,240 books faced challenges for removal from library shelves. 🚫 Pressure groups and individuals are pushing for censorship, often targeting books by and about people of color and the LGBTQIA+ community. 🏳️🌈
@nursefrombirth Threatening jail to librarians if they join ALA is disgusting, too
@TheresaVermont Yes. They want to put everyone in jail except those who actually belong there.
