Jenny --

Senator Jack Reed (RI) and Representative Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07) have

<https://www.everylibrary.org/r?u=rr97ONp3MitTshhtlKQYEMNj7XkaoHLNExpQDHLDAXZ6gH0737UXS-QEM5kWn6H8uJXVwK3-5bFhbazSIVdeqQ&e=ca32c25e7807b6527dc55b7b3efa6f47&utm_source=votelibraries&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=rtr_2025_et_2&n=1>
(H.R.6640 / S.3365), landmark legislation that invests in school libraries,
strengthens literacy, and defends students' freedom to read.

*The Right to Read Act would:*

   - Invest $600 million annually in literacy and school libraries
   - Ensure more students have certified school librarians
   - Expand access to diverse, engaging reading materials
   - Defend First Amendment rights in school libraries
   - Counter the nationwide surge in book bans

But a strong bill is only the first step. Congress needs to hear that the
public expects action.

Last year, EveryLibrary helped over 10,500 library activists contact
Congress to support an earlier version of the bill. Now it's time to do it
again.

This session, you can help pass a law
<https://action.everylibrary.org/hr6640s3365?e=ca32c25e7807b6527dc55b7b3efa6f47&utm_source=votelibraries&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=rtr_2025_et_2&n=9>
that could actually change the future of reading and literacy for millions
of students.

School libraries will not win this fight alone.

Our students and families need federal leadership, real investment, and
enforceable protections for the right to read.
