Santa Cruz Screening Raises $5,248 for Banned Books
A sold-out Santa Cruz screening of the documentary *The Librarians* raised $5,248 to buy banned and challenged books for local school libraries, as speakers criticized efforts to remove books and cited a record number of school book bans. Separately, Champlain Library is offering holiday storytimes, crafts and a book club, while its Book on Every Bed program provides new books to children receiving Christmas food baskets and solicits reading materials for seniors.
