Florida and book bans 

Join EveryLibrary Live! for a policy discussion with the League of Women Voters of Florida and the Florida Freedom to Read Project about a recent study of school library policies in place in Florida’s 67 school districts. 

This YouTube video of the discussion includes Margie Rohrbach, chair of the Broward League Education Action Team.

Florida continues to be at the center of the fight for the right to read in K-12, with laws that have greatly expanded the state’s ability to restrict books. Panelists share findings on Florida legislation and regulations concerning school library objections, the content of the policies posted by the districts, how the policies are being enacted, and legal challenges. The report includes a composite case study, constructed from public records, that describes how districts are currently navigating library materials objections. Panelists will share practical recommendations to clarify school board policies on book objections.
