Protecting freedoms

July 12 marks the 40th anniversary of the Freedom to Read Foundation, an organization started by a group of librarians, lawyers and other individuals committed to protecting and preserving First Amendment freedoms in libraries and schools.

 Through the years, the foundation has provided legal resources to libraries and librarians fighting to preserve the freedom to read in their communities and helped to advance First Amendment freedoms for every citizen. Among its major victories is the decision securing full First Amendment protection for the Internet. Countless other court victories have returned books to library shelves and preserved free inquiry in school libraries.
