Excellent piece, @cathalmccauley.bsky.social, and thank you for signposting our recent report on Resisting Hate and Navigating Agitation - our findings also troubled us, and these recent developments are extremely distressing. You are correct - this is a truly global issue that affects us all.

Librarians in UK increasingly asked to remove books, as influence of US pressure groups spreads Anecdotal evidence suggests a rise in requests to take books off shelves, particularly LGBTQ+ titles

Dismayed, but sadly not surprised to read this - it reflects the findings from our own public libraries study, which we published last November ("Resisting Hate & Navigating Agitation: Perspectives & Voices Of Public Library Staff & Librarians Against Reactionary Responses To LGBTQ+ Materials").
