FIGHT BACK AGAINST BOOK BANS!
In response to the emergence of nationwide political groups organizing to remove books from library shelves, NCAC has created the Kids’ Right to Read Network (KRRN). KRRN is a NATIONAL NETWORK of freedom to read affiliates located in communities across the United States. Affiliates are ACTIVISTS fighting back against the removal of books from libraries AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
Kids’ Right to Read Network will provide access to authors, legal support, written and digital resources, and best practices, to establish a standard “playbook” for work by local affiliates to FIGHT BOOK BANNING.
