The American Library Association and the Unite Against Book Bans initiative are collaborating with Interfaith Alliance (considered a national leader in defending civil rights and multi-faith democracy) in launching a new campaign designed to combat book censorship and defend the freedom to read. The initiative, "Faith for Libraries: Diverse Faith Communities Supporting Libraries and Librarians" formalizes and expands the groups’ ongoing work to defend libraries and librarians from censorship, emphasizing that faith communities have a critical role to play in this struggle.
The organizations have launched a pledge for people of faith to defend the freedom to read and a campaign for houses of worship to send supportive postcards to their local librarians.
