[Libs-Or] Urgent - Help Support SB 1098

[Jeremy Skinner]

Dear Oregon Library Community,

I am writing to update you on SB 1098, the School Library bill that is 
now in the House Education Committee. This is critically important piece 
of legislation that the Oregon Library Association (OLA) has been 
working hard to get passed during this session. SB 1098 protects 
students’ right to read, learn, and share ideas free from discriminatory 
censorship by prohibiting discriminatory book bans in Oregon’s public 
schools.


SB 1098 made it to the Senate Floor, was approved, and is now working 
its way through the House Committee on Education.


Your voice continues to make a difference, and we need your support again.

A *public hearing in the House Education Committee is scheduled for 
Wednesday, April 30, at 3:00 PM*

Here’s how you can help:

*-Read and share* the attached Freedom to Read One-Page summary document. **

*-Write a letter for the record.* Many of you already wrote letters that 
are still attached to this bill. If you did this, there is no reason to 
write another letter. If you didn't, feel free to check out our 
_Communication & Testimony Toolkit_, which you can use to create a 
letter to submit to the State Legislature here

Thank you for taking the time to read, act, and stand up for the freedom 
to read.
