Phil Morehart writes: “Librarian Amanda Jones has been named to the Time100 Next list, Time magazine’s spotlight on the world’s most influential rising stars. Jones has become a national voice for intellectual freedom and democracy. After making a speech against book censorship at her local library board in July 2022, Jones received death threats and experienced harassment, bullying, and more. Facing the fight head-on, she became one of the first librarians in the US to file a defamation lawsuit against her detractors.”
