Proposed bill in Alabama to allow the arrest of librarians.

No one is perfect—not even librarians. But professional #librarians are terrific. They're dedicated public servants, and they know how to library better than politicians do.

Let's trust librarians.

House advances bill allowing arrest of librarians

The bill would provide an avenue for librarians to be arrested if someone challenges a book as being "harmful to minors."

^{Jacob Holmes (Alabama Political Reporter)}

A bill in Louisiana, HB 777, would make it a crime for librarians to use public funds to join the American Librarian Association or attend an ALA conference, punishable with prison time and hard labor for up to two years.
