Before the school year began, I noted this would be a fall of book challenges. If you’re seeing a flood of stories about books being pulled from shelves or outright banned from classrooms and libraries, you’re not imagining it. It’s a small handful of the same books over and over, too, as curated by groups

Gina Peddy, the Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction of Carroll Independent School District in Southlake, Texas, was recorded in a training session advising teachers to “make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust [in a classroom library], that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives.” This isn’t

It’s that time of the year for Best Of Lists–er, okay so maybe it’s not because it’s only October and this is way early. Usually this would feel a lot like “Well I guess they wanted to be first so every year the Best Of Lists will just release earlier and earlier and soon they’ll

I chose these 20 must read coming out stories for their uniqueness, the charm of the characters, and the varied experiences that they represent. Coming out is an ephemeral act, because as soon as you’ve told one person, there’s another who doesn’t know yet. And even when you are out to everyone in your life,

Is keeping up with all of the attacks on intellectual freedom getting tiring? Of course it is.

The Swedish Academy has awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature to the novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah for his “uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents.” The Tanzanian author, who now resides in the United Kingdom, is the author of 10

Book challenges aren’t new, and neither is the “celebration” of banned books which occurs for a week at the end of September each year.

But who has a say in library policy, budgeting, and the direction of a public library? That

This year, local book challenges seem to have increased book in terms of numbers and the vitriol aimed at them. We’ve seen teachers pulled out of classrooms for using LGBTQ-inclusive materials, blanket book bans of any children’s educational resources to do with race, and concerning accusations of pedophilia or child pornography for carrying age-appropriate sex
