Initiative to Combat Book Challenges in Underserved Communities
We Need Diverse Books (WNDB), a nonprofit advocacy group seeking to diversify the publishing industry, has rolled out an initiative to fight book bans with a grant program targeting schools and libraries in underserved communities. The #BooksSaveLives initiative will provide up to $10,000 for libraries to purchase banned books and will offer resources to teachers to help encourage discussions with parents and students about censorship. It will also support media specialists in coordinating author visits and book giveaways for those affected by the bans.
