We’ve already seen a taste of what’s to come. Last year, Ohio Republicans changed how libraries across the state were funded. Once the crown jewel of library funding models in the country, the state-level funding model was abandoned by Republicans. Instead, they moved to a local-level funding model for public libraries.

Motherhood makes for potent storytelling material. Horror fiction about motherhood highlights the vulnerability and physicality of childbearing and childrearing and all its companion terrors. In The Haunting of Alejandra by V. Castro, motherhood’s many complexities are brought to bear in a story inspired by La Llorona, the haunt of Mexican folklore. After learning the barebones
The 2026 Eisner Awards, one of the most prestigious awards given to comics, were presented at the San Diego Comic Con this past weekend.

What’s also concerning is how many lawmakers and board officials desire to make–or have made–these “tools” necessary ones for professionals to use to do their jobs. York County Library in South Carolina, for example, cites RatedBooks as one of the reputable sources library workers should use to make collection decisions (something that the partisan-designed site

A comprehensive education on American culinary traditions has to include African American foodways. Needless to say, there is no one culture that defines American cuisine.

Book censorship and attacks on LGBTQ+ people from the right have been nonstop since 2021.
