Freedom to Read Day of Action – October 19

by on August 26, 2024

On Saturday, October 19th the Freedom to Read Community Day of Action, organized by Unite Against Book Bans, the Association for Rural & Small Libraries, @bklynlibrary@nypl, and @qplnyc in collaboration with libraries and advocates nationwide are planning a Freedom to Read Community Day of Action with rallies at libraries, bookstores, places of worship, and other community hubs in towns big and small all across the nation. 

The goal is to demonstrate the broad support that exists in our communities for libraries and the freedom to read. The in-person rallies aim to build momentum toward robust voter participation on November 5th – where the simple act of casting a ballot can help protect the right of everyone in our communities to read what they want. 

Please consider holding October 19th for a Freedom to Read day of action rally at your library. Get more information here and opt in to participate here.
