[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi - fellow librarian here. Since challenges to books in library collections is becoming a more common occurrence, there are a lot of resources you can draw from to continue to support your students. A quick google search turned up:

- In mid-2022, the Brooklyn Public Library launched Books UnBanned, a teen-led initiative catering to young readers across the country, regardless of state. The program allows young people across America to register for a free digital library card and access a whole bunch of banned and challenged books. 
- more access - https://www.jacksonville.com/story/news/state/2023/07/21/banned-books-list-app-florida-download-challenged-library-books/70443947007/
- Open access versions of commonly banned classics: https://libguides.com.edu/c.php?g=649165&p=4554007
- I'm not sure where you, so this resource may not work but there may be other that serve your area: https://www.inpurposeea.com/banned-book-program

I think you could both comply with the reprehensible mandate (thus saving your job) and stand by your values by removing the books but publicizing both the censorship and how students can find alternative, free access to the titles
