Author, editor and former public librarian Kelly Jensen has been keeping a close eye on a rising tide of of book bans, and shares some methods for fighting them. Most of these methods involve contacting local officials — whether that's by writing a quick email or speaking up at a board meeting. "You cannot pay attention to everything," Kelly acknowledges, but "we have the tremendous power to make change in our community, in our backyard."
