Hi All, I was just checking out the new Unite against Book Bans' Book Résumés https://bookresumes.uniteagainstbookbans.org/ . The db contains entries about  commonly challenged books such as Gender Queer, All Boys Aren't Blue, Beloved, and And Tango Makes Three. Each résumé includes a synopsis of the book, a list of reviews, a list of awards the title received, and media mentions about it. It looks like a useful tool that can be quickly accessed when experiencing an unexpected materials challenge or if a parent or patron just wants to know why the book is being targeted. Deb
