Senator May Speaks on the freedom to read

New York’s commitment to free expression for all our residents, in their rich diversity, has to be unwavering. We must ensure that students and readers visiting our libraries have access to a broad range of materials, allowing them to pursue a love of learning and reading. Senator May's bills aim to ensure that readers have access to a variety of perspectives that can enrich their minds and broaden their understanding. Whether they embrace or reject those perspectives, the opportunity to explore challenging ideas is valuable to development as learners and as active participants in our society.
