When Alice Gooblar-Perovic, Aahana Gupta, and Lydia Cruce were freshmen at Iowa City West High School, they learned that thousands of books, including "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Nineteen Minutes," were going to be pulled from classrooms across their state. This was in order to comply with Senate File 496, which said books and school materials must be "age appropriate." So they started a Banned Book Club. Two years later, the club is still going and growing, and the law is in trouble — the part of it that affected school libraries was temporarily blocked by a federal judge, while enforcement of book restrictions remains frozen under a second temporary injunction. @npr's Iowa Public Radio spoke with the three girls, who are now juniors, about how their goals have changed, and the community they've built.

The #IowaSupremeCourt ruled on Fri that the state’s 6-wk #AbortionBan, when most women don’t even know they are pregnant, could be enforced, a decision that sharply limits #access to #abortion & fulfills a longstanding aim of the state’s #Republican leaders.

If the cats at Books & Meows could talk, they'd probably have nothing but wonderful things to say. Like how they have space to live when shelters are at capacity, or how almost 30 felines have been adopted since they opened. Welcome to Caturday
