Library workers and ALA itself are caught in a similar situation. Our very work and mission—‘to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all,’ built on the constitutional bedrocks of individual agency and intellectual freedom—have become embattled. We must understand this divisive and volatile era of book censorship as a long-tail effect of the same sentiments that denounced science as threatening to the status quo and sought to suppress public health information.”
