[aisle] [External] Elementary Censorship Question?

[Weber, Kristina]

Colleen,
I'm so sorry you're going through this. AISLE has an Intellectual Freedom
Resource Center - https://sites.google.com/aisled.org/intellectual-freedom/
with a ton of helpful resources and information, including links to ALA
OIF's reporting form.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. You can get me
here or through my AISLE email, intellfreedom at aisled.org .

If anyone on the listserv has title-specific resources for PRIDE, that
would be really helpful- a book resume of sorts- that we can add to the
title-specific resources on the IFRC.

Kristina
