Banned Books Week is September 27–October 4, 2008.
I recently read about Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin asking how to ban books in the town of Wasilla when she was mayor, and then threatening to fire the librarian.
Like that librarian, I'm aghast, but what a great opportunity to plug Banned Books Week and support the Freedom to Read.
(BTW, I got the nifty button on the left from The Jovial Cynic.)
So glad you're talking about Banned Books Week.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to re-read Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time" as a build-up to banned books week. Let's see how many we can chat about!
