PASSIONATELY FIGHTING BOOK-BANNING AND CENSORSHIP: HOW & WHY In this timely broadside against censorship, Laties weaves together stories from his fifty years as a bookseller, activist, and parent, while sharing tales from authors, librarians, publishers, journalists, and customers. Discussing events as recent as the May 2025 firing of the Librarian of Congress and the June 2025 Supreme Court LGBTQ+ storybook decision, this conversational book reveals patterns in the history of book challenges, while teaching resistance tactics. An essential read for parents, librarians, educators, and everyone committed to intellectual freedom.
