Just keeping myself busy on a very quiet evening shift in Children‘s. Also actively shopping for shirts that are unapologetic in their broadcasting of support for #freedomtoread, because #banfascistsnotbooks.

My plan of action is to vote. I'm privileged to live in a state where I can sit down at home with my ballot and voter's pamphlet. I can take as much time as I need to make informed decisions. We can liberate libraries and librarians in states where books are being banned. Children are not free if they can't see themselves in what they read. #ala #freedomtoread #dayofaction #americanlibraryassociation #vote #blm #lgbtq+ #transrights saves lives.
By sentencing writer Hossein Shanbehzadeh to 12 years in prison—merely for tweeting a period—Iranian authorities demonstrate the absurdity of their attempts to silence writers and critics. We urge the Tehran court to quash Shanbehzadeh's conviction.
Iran has jailed the second-most writers in the world for their expression.

#FreedomToRead #BanBigotsNotBooks 🇮🇷 📚
One of my all-time favourite books is on the banned books list. I'm really enjoying this Audible edition during #bannedbooksweek2023
I fully support #freedomtoread and endorse all endeavours to turn the tide on archaic censorship.
The whole point of writing and literature is to open our minds to new thoughts and experiences we might not ordinarily have access to. ⬇️
It‘s the last day of #bannedbookweek2021. This graphic novel has been challenged many times for the following reasons: #pornographic #lgbtq #druguse #sexualviolence #sexualsituations #readbannedbooks kids! #freedomtoread #bannedbooks #bannedbooksweek
It‘s Banned Books Week! Let‘s celebrate our intellectual freedom and read a book that someone, at some point, tried to censor! #ReadBannedBooks #FreedomtoRead
Much like these Rebel Spider Lilies who jumped the fence; I don't like being told what to do. So I'm always excited for Banned Books Week. Celebrate The Freedom to Read Sep 27 - Oct 3. I'll be rereading my favorite #3 and finishing up my #top10challengedbooks by reading #2 Beyond Magenta. ✊

The Missouri Library Association is fighting against Missouri House Bill 2044 which would appoint a “parent group” to pass into law censorship of library books. I can only hope the librarians and library patrons who fight against this censorship win this battle. #censorship #freedomtoread #ala #ireadbannedbooks
