Protecting & Affirming the Freedom to Read in Illinois and Beyond

Lindsay Eanet2023-08-02T15:53:36-05:00

The Illinois Resource Center applauds Illinois state leadership for taking action to safeguard students’ freedom to read, and the hard work of educators, library workers and advocates nationwide who have been pushing back against the wave of book bans. So why talk about book bans now, after it seems legislatively decided? Although we [...]

You can view the entire series here. For years, libraries across the country and beyond have hosted drag story hours, events where drag performers in colorful attire read aloud to young children. Sometimes, the books have [...]
