    Banned Books Week 2020

    September 27, 2020 /

    Once a year, the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom promotes Banned Books Week, a week that “spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. It brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.” I wanted to share some of the resources I think are vital in advocating and fighting against book censorship, as well as encourage you to revisit, read, share, and think/talk about frequently challenged or banned books. And if you are unfamiliar with…

    National Readathon Day 2016

    May 18, 2016 /

    Happy Wednesday, friends! I wanted to take a few minutes to help spread the word about National Readathon Day – which takes place this Saturday, May 21st. If you know about it, share your plans and any extra information below in the comments, and if you are just hearing about it, here is a quick introduction. A partnership between the American Library Association (ALA) and Penguin Random House, National Readathon Day is an opportunity to raise funds for and promote early childhood literacy through the ALA’s Every Child Ready to Read Initiative.

    Banned Books Week

    September 28, 2015 /

    *Happy* Banned Books Week! I put asterisks around Happy because the phrasing seems a little adverse, although it is appropriate because of its purpose. The observance of Banned Books Week was created in 1982 as a response to the overwhelming surge of literary censorship. Since then, over 11,000 books have been challenged because of “unsuitable” or “offensive” content. The American Library Association (ALA) receives reports of attempts to censor or ban books and uses the information to inform readers and the public of such controversies and to further promote informational access. “Okay,” you may be saying, “but censorship violates my right, authors’ rights of freedom of speech. You know, a basic amendment right.…
