Youth Services News Book challenges

[Debbie Reese]

Good morning!

I am trying to determine if books by Native writers (my area of research)
are being challenged in NM libraries. If you're comfortable sharing
challenges, can you write to me directly? I'm also wondering if *An
Indigenous Peoples' History of the US for Young People *has been
challenged. It appears on the list that Krause, a state rep in TX,
compiled, and I wondered if other locations outside of TX might be
receiving challenges to books on that list.

I did a short blog post last year when the Central York challenges were in
the news. That challenged list included several books by Native writers.

Thanks in advance!
Debbie
