There seems to be moves in some libraries to cast gender critical people as villains. There have been reports that some libraries are hiding books by Helen Joyce and Kathleen Stock - Calderdale libraies in this case. And also that libraries have been advised not to display such books. Excerpt from the advice below.

A very useful piece of activism would be visit/join/re-join your loacl library and see what you can see. Are they displaying book such as Trans by Helen Joyce, Material Girls by Kathleen Stock, Time to Think by Hannah Barnes, Unfair Play by Sharon Davies on open shelves? If not ask for them. GEt them ordered in on inter-library loan if necessary.

Apart from anything else it will give a bump to the writers income through the library loan rights payments that authors get.

You could also support the following authors who all deserve a bump to their lending figures on library loans - Simon Edge (The End of the World is Flat and In the Beginning which both have a TERF theme) , Rachel Rooney (children's books: The Fears You Fear, The Language of Cat; the Problem with Problems etc. ) , Gillian Philip (the YA series Rebel Angels begins with Firebrand, and many others ) and Jane Harris (Sugar Money, Gillespie and I, and The Observations).

Details of the library advice from the Daily Telegraph article:

"While accepting that these books are legal and people may want to read them, the guidance for librarians states “we would recommend to be mindful of and not promote these books”, adding “think carefully about how many you want to buy, perhaps based solely on individual requests”.

The document claims that gender-critical titles are “lacking peer reviewed research”, advising: “Be especially careful to make sure you do not make mistakes such as putting them on LGBTIQ+ displays or sections where they might cause upset.

“You can interfile them in your general stock and those who want to seek out these titles can always do so via your catalogue without the risk of a LGBTIQ+ person coming across the book in a way that looks like it may be being endorsed.”

The guidance was produced in 2022 by an Islington “LGBTIQ+ library” called Book 28, founded by Southwark Council librarian Isadore Auerbach George, who drew up the advice with Lambeth librarian Colette Townend and academic Dr Elizabeth Chapman, whose doctoral thesis was on “provision of LGBT-related fiction to children and young people” in public libraries.

The guidance has been provided to staff working for local authorities, with Leicestershire, West Berkshire and Gateshead council making use of the advice."
