===Cold War Era===
During the [[Cold War]] period, the Library Bill of Rights supported opponents of censorship of materials interpreted as communist propaganda. In 1948, the association adopted a major revision of the document, which strengthened it significantly to address the new wave of censorship attempts that marked the beginning of the [[Second Red Scare]], better known as [[McCarthyism]], and was subsequently attacked in newspapers as "leftist," a "red front," and a "Communist organization."{{ref|hist}}
