Small-town librarian Amanda Jones has been called a groomer, a pedo and a porn-pusher. She has faced death threats and attacks from strangers and friends alike. When she stood up for diverse perspectives at a public library board meeting, she became a target for extremists using book-banning campaigns --- funded by dark money organizations and advanced by hard right politicians --- in a crusade to make America more white, straight and “Christian.” But Amanda Jones wouldn't give up without a fight. She sued her harassers for defamation and urged others to join her in the resistance. Mapping the book-banning crisis occurring all across the nation, THAT LIBRARIAN draws the battle lines in the war against intellectual freedom, calling book lovers everywhere to rise in defense of our readers.
