Librarians Gather in Texas as Book Bans Mount

On the same day that the Texas Library Association convened its annual convention in person for the first time since 2019, attendees learned that residents of Llano, a rural county outside Austin, were fighting back against efforts by Republican politicians to censor local libraries. It was, perhaps, a sweeter irony that the TLA’s conference, which ran April 25–28, was held in Fort Worth, in the district of state representative Matt Kraus. Kraus started a campaign to ban books in Texas last October, when he sent a letter to the Texas Education Agency asking school districts to investigate the presence of more than 850 diverse and inclusive books in school libraries. Remarking on the news from Llano, Darryl Tocker, executive director of the Tocker Foundation, the state’s most prominent charity involved in supporting rural public libraries, told PW, “It’s wrong what is happening in public libraries. There’s no other word for it.”

From The Mountains to Raised Southern, from Feel Free to RV Today and I Love RVing, from Western Life Today to EV Builder’s Guide the field of magazines (keep in mind my definition of magazines: ink on paper) gained 22 titles on the nation’s marketplace including the return of some favorites that took a break from print or life for some time. Creem, the original rock and roll magazine, made a great comeback (only by subscription) and so did Mad and Marie Claire. So far 2022 has witnessed the launch of 62 titles compared to 81 for the same period of 2021. In the first quarter of 2022 28 titles were launched. In the second quarter the number dropped to 12. The third quarter saw 22 titles introduced.
