Supporting Public Libraries All Across Rural Texas

Strong libraries build strong communities

Unfettered access to information and the exchange of ideas are essential to the preservation of a free and democratic society.
We oppose censorship and any effort to coerce belief, suppress opinion, or punish those whose expression does not conform to what is deemed to be orthodox in history, politics, or belief.
We are committed to protecting the constitutional rights of all individuals, of all ages, to use the resources and services of libraries. We champion and defend the freedom to speak, the freedom to publish, and the freedom to read, as promised by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
