On May 24, 2025, in a 10–7 decision, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the gov can restrict access to books in public libraries simply because it dislikes or disagrees with their content. How can this be the world we live in! action.everylibrary.org/bannedbooks?... #savelibraries

PETITION: Don't Ban Books in the United States

Proposed censorship measures in several states could deny your right to read some books in our Nation's libraries and lead to librarians facing criminal charges for the books on the shelves.

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights. Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.
