When you look at a bookshelf, you are likely looking at Judith Krug’s legacy. After becoming an @americanlibraryassociation director in 1967, Judith helped found @freedom_to_read_foundation. An outspoken critic of censorship, she was instrumental in creating the now-renowned Banned Books Week program and passionately defended our right to choose what we read. In 1981, we were honored have Krug serve as one of our First Amendment Awards judges.
