We’re making #BannedBook necklaces at #Alaac25 #booksunbanned booth 135. Learn about library partnerships and program funding!
Going to @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social's #ALAAC25 in Philadelphia? Stop by @bklynlibrary.bsky.social's #BooksUnbanned Booth (135) for these stickers, fun schwag, and information on our brand-spanking new Freedom to Read Storytime Guide, which I will be presenting on on Sat 6/28 at 11 AM! #BannedBooks
That would be great! I’m working at the #booksunbanned booth on Sunday at 10! Booth 135. Stop by!
Banning books is dumb and dangerous but it's happening all around the country, which is why BPL also started an initiative called #BooksUnbanned.

Maya Angelou "I'm always sorry that people ban my books. Many times I've been called the most banned. Many times my books are banned by people who never read two sentences."
Book bans are often started by people that fear knowledge. And access is the key to unlocking potential. With book bans on the rise, it's vital to ensure students can access a diverse range of reading materials, from timeless classics to modern works.

I feel like linking writeups of BANNED book lists. Staring with: TENNESSEE. To date, there are +300 books that to read in the "Volunteer State," must be gotten elsewhere.
* To borrow e-books no matter where they live, teens should search #BooksUnbanned, to find out how. tinyurl.com/48kf4th4
