Give books some love this Valentine's Day!

February 3, 2023
Famous children’s author Dr. Seuss wrote “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” But not so much in Florida. Under a Florida law that went into effect in July 2022, all books in elementary school libraries must be reviewed by a certified media specialist.

As a result, Florida teachers are increasingly being told that they should remove books or they risk being charged with a third-degree felony.
