Freedom to Read Foundation

The Freedom to Read Foundation was established in 1969 as the First Amendment legal defense arm of the American Library Association. It is the only organization in the United States whose primary goal is to protect, promote, and defend the First Amendment in libraries. All chapters are expected to donate to the organization, and Colorado is a member through CAL. This is the organization that assisted Denver's Tattered Cover Book Store in its successful fight against a search warrent targeting customer records.
