Hi,

Today AASL released a new resource guide called "Defending Intellectual Freedom: LGBTQ+ Materials in School Libraries." It is designed to "support school librarians addressing challenges related to censorship and patron privacy issues, particularly with LGBTQ+ materials...[and it] contains resources, links, and activities scaffolded by the newly released AASL National School Library Standards...In addition, the guide includes activities in each section that will help school librarians engage in their own inquiry process as they explore their own biases and discover practices for developing and defending their collections."
