Could this happen in our libraries? I hope so.
This 'Tough Topics' poster from the Shreve Memorial Library in Shreveport, Louisiana is a powerful reminder during National Library Week of the valuable role that libraries play in our communities and the importance of the freedom to read!
For two excellent book series for tweens and teens that tackle a variety of challenging life topics, we highly recommend the Smart Girl's Guides for tween girls (http://amgrl.co/2xpFKOg) and the Instant Help Solutions Guides for teen girls and boys (https://amgrl.co/2mcTz1A)
For two inspiring books about girls fighting against censorship in schools - both for ages 9 to 12 - we highly recommend "Ban This Book" (https://www.amightygirl.com/ban-this-book) and "Property of the Rebel Librarian" (https://www.amightygirl.com/property-of-the-rebel-librarian)
For a thought-provoking young adult novel exploring school book banning, we recommend "Suggested Reading" for ages 14 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/suggested-reading
