Checklist: Preparing for Materials Challenges at Your Library
This four-step checklist, created by IFLS staff and located near the top of the Challenge Support & Intellectual Freedom Resources page, is recommended as a starting point in preparation for potential materials challenges at your library.

The toolkit is fully stocked and ready to use. Some libraries have already started using it! Let’s bring a lot of good news to Library Legislative Day. We’re hoping for 100% participation, and we’ll hand these directly to state officials on February 7.

Happy holidays!
