True Stories of Censorship Battles in America's Libraries by Kathy Barco, Valerie Nye

4.0

A good collection of many first-person accounts from the front-lines in the battle for intellectual freedom in America. I enjoyed the diversity of experiences (some are full-on, drag-your-name-into-the-mud-and-the-courts attempts at book banning while others are only slight passes at challenging) and the relative diversity of outcomes that show the real-world application of ALA ideals as library workers of all types deal with the unique details of their particular situations. A must-read for anyone who cares about libraries and/or the First Amendment.
