Turning the Page: Download the Free Advocacy Guide
This free advocacy guide, Turning the Page: an Advocate's Guide to the Freedom to Read, was made by parents who believe all kids deserve access to diverse ideas and stories. Inside, you'll find tips, tools, and stories to help you advocate for the right to read—in your school, library, or community.
We're so glad you're here. This free guide, Turning the Page: an Advocate's Guide to the Freedom to Read, was created for everyday people—parents, caregivers, and community members—who are ready to stand up for the freedom to read. Whether you're just starting out or already speaking up at school board meetings and library hearings, this guide will give you practical tools, strategies, and inspiration to keep going.
When you complete the sign up form, you'll receive an email with a link to download the digital guide at no cost. We believe this information should be available to everyone who wants to protect young people's access to books, ideas, and diverse perspectives, but we would appreciate you sharing a link to this page with other advocates instead of sharing the download of the guide directly. This ensures that we can reach out when a new version is available and provide access to additional information and event invitations through our bi-monthly newsletter.
While the guide is free, creating resources like this takes time, care, and ongoing effort. If you're able, we invite you to make a financial donation to help sustain and grow our work. Every contribution—big or small—helps us reach more communities, support more advocates, and continue defending the freedom to read. Thank you for being part of this movement. Together, we can make a difference.
