Thanks to your hard work, our workshop, “Book Banning: How to Fight Against It,” was a huge success at LWV’s national convention last week. Ninety delegates attended in person; another 66 delegates participated via Zoom. Our display table at the back held giveaway items: 96 books that have been challenged or banned in the past 10 years, book bags printed with our logo, and a donation box. Workshop participants left with books, a bag to carry them and the energy and information to take a stand against book bans in their towns. We also offered a copy of our presentation. Share the information widely!
