reading rights by Mary V. Marsh
$40.00
Along with many other Americans, I have recently been reacquainting myself with the Bill of Rights and thinking about the core of what I think of as American. As a library worker of many years I believe in free and equal access to information as well as the freedom to read without fear of surveillance. These First and Fourth Amendment rights must continually be used, fought for and protected. Use our free libraries to vote for social services. Buy a newspaper to support its publication and distribution. Practice Speech-plus, our right to speak-out with action. A look at our First and Fourth Amendment rights in four bookmarks presented as a pamphlet binding with library book pocket.
