A new measure introduced in the Georgia Senate would bar city, county, and regional library trustees and the State University System of Georgia from using “any public or privately donated funds on any materials, services or operations offered by the American Library Association or any of its affiliates.” (Pixabay)

The library has always been a safe space for Nia Batra. 

“In elementary school, I went to my library every week with a tower of books to return,” reflected the 15-year-old. “I’d come out with an even higher tower to tear through.”

“In middle school, I used my library’s resources in every research paper I got an A on,” she continued.
