After the November 7th election it is even more vital to understand what is happening in your communities. In region 7 particularly, our governing bodies have been quick to implement these restrictions on free speech. At present most of the legislation against books they deem unfit is gender or LGBTQ+ content from schools and libraries, but leaves much up to independent organizations determination resulting in hundreds of novels being banned already.
