Efforts to ban reading materials have nothing to do with books - they're about restricting freedoms. They defy what education is all about: teaching our children to think for themselves. Thank you @UClubChicago for inviting me to speak about our fundamental Right to Read.

The recent cuts to federal library funding run counter to our shared values as a society that depends on libraries for learning and civic engagement. We’re doing things differently in Illinois. We’re fighting to ensure Illinoisans have the resources to gather and grow together.
Funding for our #Libraries will ensure that they're able to continue generating an outsized impact in communities across Illinois. From early childhood education to workforce development, libraries empower people of all ages and backgrounds. We’re proud to fight for them!
