Watch This: The Right to Read is Under Attack

Mar 27, 2025 | Book Bans, Easy A

We are proud to be one of more than 200 organizations and tens of thousands of individuals who make up the American Library Association’s Unite Against Book Bans. Together, we’re helping our communities advocate for the freedom to read.

On April 7, 2025, we’re celebrating Right to Read Day to bring attention to the nationwide rise in book bans and laws targeting librarians and teachers, as well as cuts to library funding and programs. Book banning and censorship have no place in our democracy. No one should be afraid to read, learn, or teach.

Earn your Easy A this week by watching this short video. We’ll be sharing it on social media next week before Right to Read Day, but we’re giving you an exclusive sneak peek! We hope it inspires you to celebrate Right to Read Day with us. Next week, we’ll show you how!
