[SCLA] Fw: Take Action! Tell Gov. Hochul to sign The Freedom to Read Act!

[Samantha Alberts]

Colleagues:
Please see the call to action below from NYLA regarding the Freedom to Read Act. This bill, if enacted, would require the commissioner of education to develop policies to ensure that school libraries and library staff are empowered to curate and develop collections that provide students with access to the widest array of developmentally appropriate materials available.

This bill was recently sent to Governor Hochul for review and signature.

SCLA Legislative Committee

TAKE ACTION!



The Freedom to Read Act (S.1099/A.7777) was delivered to Governor Kathy Hochul's desk on December 9, 2025.



The Governor now has until December 19 to render a final decision on the bill. NYLA is calling on #LibraryAdvocates everywhere to contact Governor Hochul and urge her to sign this critical legislation today!
