Right to Read Coalition
The statewide Right to Read Coalition supports Missouri’s libraries to remain an open, accessible resource for books and other materials available free-of-charge to the public.
We oppose attempts to restrict access to public and school libraries. We have confidence in trained, experienced librarians and educators to evaluate and select materials available to the public.
Membership in the Right to Read Coalition is open to organizations and individuals who support the coalition’s purpose.
