That librarian : the fight against book banning in America / Amanda Jones.

Jones, Amanda, author

London : Bloomsbury, 2024.

288 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm

Part memoir, part manifesto, the inspiring story of a Louisiana librarian advocating for inclusivity on the front lines of our vicious culture wars. Amanda Jones' decision to support a collection of books with diverse perspectives made her a target for extremists using book banning campaigns - funded by dark money organizations and advanced by hard right politicians - in a crusade to make America more white, straight, and 'Christian.' But Amanda Jones wouldn't give up without a fight: she sued her harassers for defamation and urged others to join her in the resistance. Mapping the book banning crisis occurring all across the nation, 'That Librarian' draws the battle lines in the war against equity and inclusion, calling book lovers everywhere to rise in defense of our readers.
