Keep Them Reading is a concise handbook for teachers, librarians,
administrators, and district personnel about how to prevent
censorship in a school or district-and what to do if it happens.
Written by two award-winning authors who have devoted much of their
careers to anti-censorship work, this book discusses the overall
importance of reading in all academic endeavours and demonstrates
how challenges and censorship can derail even the best literacy
program. Each chapter contains practical tools, advice, and
resources for building understanding about issues of intellectual
freedom and for creating a plan to help all parties work through
challenges before they turn into damaging censorship incidents. The
last chapter contains advice from authors who have dealt with
censorship, such as Judy Blume, and experts on the subject, such as
Joan Bertin, executive director of the National Coalition Against
Censorship. Book Features: Procedures for dealing with censorship
challenges before they arise. Protocols to help teachers and
librarians meet challenges and resist censorship. Samples of actual
letters teachers can use to defend their selection of a text.
Detailed suggestions for conducting meetings with parents and
district personnel. Helpful lists of books dealing with censorship,
relevant court cases, and national organisations offering support
and resources.
