BANNED BOOK INITIATIVE
Support for this type of initiative can be found throughout Broward County. “A vital part of my mission is to ensure that the freedom to read is not compromised,” Library Director Allison Grubbs wrote in a statement. “The right to think, speak and learn freely are foundational values in our democracy and in our libraries.”
The Stirling Road Library, together with all other Broward County Library branches, has created a “Book Sanctuary.” Book Sanctuaries are designated areas where endangered stories will be protected and made accessible for exploration or checkout.
More information can be found at::American Library Association (ALA): The ALA is a prominent organization that actively supports intellectual freedom and fights against censorship. Their Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) maintains a Banned & Challenged Books webpage with a wealth of resources, including lists of frequently challenged books, statistics, and tips on how to deal with challenges.
