PETER ROBINSON
RIGHT TO READ DAY
April 2024 was National Library Month. Peter Robinson reflects on Bay Area library activities, including Right to Read Day on April 8th.
More books were banned in 2023 in U.S. schools and libraries than any other year for which records have been kept.
Many of the books targeted related to issues of LGBTQ+ communities or race, though the list was broad - including commonly taught novels such as Lord of the Flies and To Kill a Mockingbird.
