The Librarian Challenging Book Bans: A Conversation with Amanda Jones
Today’s guest on Brungardt Law's Lagniappe is Ms. Amanda Jones, a librarian in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, anti-censorship advocate, and past president of the Louisiana Association of School Librarians. Despite being cruelly defamed, shunned by members of her own community, and subjected to death threats, Ms. Jones has steadfastly been a voice of reason against book bans in Louisiana and the U.S. In 2023, she was awarded the American Association of School Librarians' Intellectual Freedom Award and the American Library Association's Paul Howard Award for Courage. She is also the author of That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America.
