Description:
The State Policies on Book Challenges in Schools and Libraries Collection examines the often “lost” or “hidden” documentation behind book challenges and bans in schools and libraries. The collection pulls policies from most of the states and has a special focus on collecting both policies and contextual sources from the state of Michigan. While collected materials may touch on other institutions such as commercial entities, universities and colleges, and cultural institutions such as museums, the majority of the materials concern public schools and libraries. Collected materials consist of proposed bills; past legislation referred to in challenges; school board meeting minutes; school or district-level policies; press releases; and other related documentation. Many of the materials archived here are publicly available but where necessary, we have collected materials that are essential to the narrative around book bannings and challenges, such as Ron DeSantis’ press releases or news articles concerning book challenges and bans in the state of Michigan. This collection is in conjunction with the Diversity in Children’s Literature collection.

Description:
The state of Michigan has seen numerous crises and controversies surrounding the protection of its lakes and rivers as well as the responsibility to provide safe, clean water to residents. The Flint water crisis; the price increases and subsequent water shut-offs in Detroit; and the reaction of local communities to the Enbridge Mackinac pipeline have sparked debates about racism, environmental justice and water as a basic human right. This collection attempts to capture the dialogue about access to clean water taking place on websites and social media between government officials and community organizations.
