Banned Books…
If you are opposed to banning and/or burning books, here are some Internet sources which provide insight into unbanning, as well as, access to books that have been banned by restrictive communities.
- Books for All: “The New York Public Library stands by the right to read freely.”
- Books Unbanned: “Brooklyn Public Library is adding our voice to those fighting for the rights of teens nationwide to read what they like, discover themselves, and form their own opinions. Inspired by the American Library Association’s Freedom to Read Statement, BPL’s Books Unbanned initiative is a response to an increasingly coordinated and effective effort to remove books tackling a wide range of topics from library shelves.”
- American Library Association Advocacy: “From privacy education to effective school library programs across the country — ALA advocates have been at the heart of our nation’s greatest advances for libraries. Learn how you can be an advocate for every library across the country.”
- Readers Digest: “30 Banned Books You Should Probably Read Right Now; Celebrate the freedom to read by picking up one (or all) of these banned books.”
- Banned Books Project: Books are being banned across the world, stifling knowledge and silencing free speech. We must stop this.
