TLA Helpline

The TLA Intellectual Freedom Helpline will connect librarians facing materials challenges or with questions about intellectual freedom issues to other Texas librarians who have volunteered to share their expertise, resources, and support. The Helpline coordinators who assign the cases will make every effort to match individuals to volunteers with similar library experience.

NOTE: Allow three business days for your request to be processed and a volunteer to contact you. If you have an emergency issue, please contact Wendy Woodland at TLA.
