Don't Miss the Plot: Book Price Increases Contribute to Censorship

If you thought "teens can get those $15.99 YA paperbacks from the library," you've missed the fact that book bans mean they can't.

BOOK RIOT

“…if a kid can’t afford to buy the book, go to the library and get it. Libraries are amazing! They offer these things to people in their community.

"Y’all: LIBRARIES ARE UNDER ATTACK BY GROUPS TRYING TO ENSURE THESE BOOKS DO NOT GET INTO THE HANDS OF READERS. This is not only school libraries. It is not only public libraries. There are states literally working to outlaw entire categories of books from reaching the teens for whom they are already financially inaccessible.

"Not only that, but librarians and educators are being put under the threat of losing their jobs, their livelihoods, their health insurance, and their actual lives by legislators across the country who are eager to criminalize them for having ‘inappropriate’ books in their collections. These legislators are listening to right-wing Christian nationalists calling certified educators and librarians groomers for simply having the books that reflect their communities in the collection.”

“ right-wing Christian nationalists “

Let’s just go ahead and call these filthy book burning nauseating trash what they are:They are Nazi’s
