@Sheril If you’re not aware of it already, #BannedBooksWeek started today. It helps bring attention to the American #Library Association’s Top 11 Most Challenged Books. Knowing what’s being censored is valuable to all of us who care about libraries remaining a place where intellectual freedom is nurtured and abounds.
