**Petition Update: Urgent Call to Action!**

Dear supporters, We wanted to take a moment to update you on our ongoing petition regarding the need for libraries to reconsider the requirement of parental permission for students to access LGBTQ+ themed books. This issue is critically important, as it directly affects the resources available to young readers in our communities. Access to diverse literature is essential for all students, allowing them to explore different perspectives and identities. However, the current policy not only limits access but also sends a harmful message about the validity of LGBTQ+ experiences. We believe that every student should have the freedom to read and learn without unnecessary barriers. We urge you to help amplify our message by sharing this petition with your networks. Your voice matters; together, we can advocate for a more inclusive environment in our libraries that respects and celebrates diversity. Let’s stand up for the rights of all students to access the literature that reflects their identities and experiences. Thank you for your continued support!
