Don't forget: Banned Books Week starts tomorrow

Look for events in your area. Read a banned book. Support free speech in whatever other way works best for you!

1. Thanks for the heads up!

My local library get into this big time, w/tables and tables of "banned" books.

2. I was so proud of my display last year

(I worked in a public library) I created little "Wanted" signs for each book in the display, detailing why they were banned.

4. You sound like my librarians

And I love them! Good on you.

5. Aww thanks

The display area was the one place I could use any creativity (the rest of the job was fairly soul-deadening stuff), so I really got into it.

3. Thanks for drawing attention to this.

I am promoting Banned Books Week in a big way this year at my high school. I have a few separate displays with a posters that read "Be Controversial: read a banned book," "Book that shock, books that rock," "YOU HAVE THE RIGHT....TO READ." If I were not in a school library, and could more openly express my political views, you can bet there would be a Palin-inspired poster or two up!
