For our inaugural Book Flood Podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing library leader Amanda Jones about her new book, That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America (2024), and about her journey battling people who would ban books. Very much worth a listen.
The podcast is now available on:
“That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America” by Amanda Jones (2024) (links to book review)
Reviews
“Amanda Jones started getting death threats, all for standing up for our right to read…but she’s not stopped fighting against book bans, or stopped advocating for access to diverse stories.”
–OPRAH WINFREY, in a speech at the 2023 National Book Awards
“Amanda Jones clearly outlines how we got here, who’s leading this false charge against qualified educators, media specialists, and authors-and most importantly, explores the steps we all must take to make the voice of truth and reason louder than their caterwauling.”
-JODI PICOULT, #1 New York Times bestselling author
