New Retirement Savings Rules.

The Omnibus bill signed by President Biden includes new retirement savings provisions – known as Secure 2.0 – that could make it easier to accumulate retirement savings — and make it less costly to withdraw them. The provisions include requiring employers to automatically enroll employees in 401(k) plans, allowing employer contributions for student loan payments, increasing the age for required minimum distributions and raising catch-up contribution limits for older workers.

Banned Books. Public libraries and schools around the US are under unprecedented pressure from conservative groups who seek to ban a growing number of books on race and gender matters. Which are the most banned books? What’s fueling this growing movement? What do these challenges mean for book readers, students, teachers and librarians?
