Resources for Fighting Book Banning

As seen in the August 2023 ALSC Newsletter:

In support of the right to free speech and against censorship and book bans, the Children’s Book Council has compiled relevant resources for librarians, teachers, and booksellers. The kit includes:

- Keep Bans off Our Books sticker
- #FREADOM coloring page to copy
- The Pride Love & Acceptance poster created by Chan Chau, in partnership with School Library Journal. (Originally made available in fall 2022.)
- A page about a book teaching kids about banned books, by Pat Scales with ALA
- A letter from Raj Halder and Sourcebooks about their upcoming title, This Book Is Banned

Complete this form to request a free copy of the free speech kit.

If you have any questions regarding this resource, please email the Children's Book Council.

[YSS blog editor: You can also access more toolkits and information at the American Library Association's Unite Against Book Bans webpage, a rich resource to help you.]
