HB City Council extremists want to seize control of our public library. We're a grassroots group that fought off book banners at the ballot box.

Book bans can escalate into laws threatening librarians with arrest. Seventeen states have pursued measures that would criminalize librarianship. Arkansas was the most recent example. We cannot let fear of political retaliation determine what reaches library shelves. Take action: buff.ly/4StrlLh

BREAKING: Book banning extremist group โ€œMoms For Libertyโ€ LOST ALL 31 of their races. Moms for Liberty is now 0-59 in contested school board races since 2023. This is what happens when communities have had enough and say NO to book bans!

Why are white men yelling, โ€œWhite men, fight back,โ€ because a white man killed another white man for not aligning with what they thought were their white man views enough?

How long will it take before Republicans realize that running on banning books is electoral kryptonite? The evidence at this point is overwhelming.
Great news in runoff for the Salado (Tx) Public Library Board: Dana Rojas defeats Stephen Sequeira for trustee. Big electoral win over the book banners.

I'm assuming it's the "book club" for the city? The last city I lived in did this. The point is to have something to discuss with your neighbors. I'm against censorship of any kind, but I truly believe the library should be trying to bring people together in these dangerous times
