Citizens for Truth and Justice in Education and the National Coalition Against Censorship Kids Right to Read Network held a silent read-in outside of the Volusia County School Board building in DeLand on Tuesday, Jan. 23, to protest the removal of books from school libraries. 

Ormond Beach resident Laurel Robinson, spokesperson for CTJE, said it's important that the issue not be forgotten. 

"It's just too important," she said. "When you start assaulting the whole body of work that got us to where we are, and particularly in an education setting, I think it's very dangerous."
