👋 ✨ 📖 ❤️
quote from Madeleine L'Engle set against a starry blue sky. The quote reads: A book, too, can be a star, "explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly," a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe. The quote is from L'Engle's 1963 Newbery Medal Acceptance Speech

The Leaving Roomdoesn’t start with much—a girl in a room talking to herself. But I knew, from interviewingAmber McBrideaboutGone Wolf, to trust that nothing was necessarily as it seemed.

Starting local is the first step to fighting for your freedom to read, but it can be a daunting process. Here are some ways to work it into your own life! #BannedBooksWeek

Why You Should Get Involved with Local Organizations, & How to do it:
Donate Your Time Plenty of groups are doing the work to fight back against book bans at a state and local level Florida Freedom to Read or the Texas Freedom to Read Project are two examples. Attend Meetings Attend local school board and library board meetings. Being informed is the best way to protest book banning and so attending and speaking up at community meetings are vital for making change. Donate Money Donating money helps these state and local organizations continue to fight for the freedom to read. Even a small amount of support goes a long way to the continuation of these organizations. Join the Fight Join your local Friends of the Library group. These groups are important in advocating for literacy, library funding, and many other issues but they are also a great place to meet other lovers of the library!
