Shannon Maughan writes: “On Saturday, October 19, libraries, bookstores, and other partners and advocates across the country will be holding community events and rallies against book banning as part of the inaugural Freedom to Read Day of Action. The effort has been spearheaded and organized by ALA, the Association for Rural and Small Libraries, Brooklyn Public Library, New York Public Library, Queens Public Library, and ALA’s Unite Against Book Bans initiative. The Unite Against Book Bans website provides additional information and resources for readers and event hosts.”
