Send an email to your Texas State Representative asking them to oppose Texas House Bill 3225, which applies to public municipal libraries across the state.

HB 3225 would:

• Ban anyone under 18 from accessing “sexually explicit” materials—a term so broadly defined that it includes books with any descriptions of “sexual conduct,” regardless of context or intent.

• Prevent libraries from curating or displaying many important books in teen and children’s sections, including sex-education materials, young adult novels, and even classic literature and art books.

• Restrict youth from accessing the general collection—even for school assignments or research—potentially blocking students from reading The Great Gatsby, The Color Purple, or Beloved.

• Force libraries to implement costly, impractical segregation of books and spaces, or risk legal consequences.
