@reginagarson.bsky.socialBanned Books Week used to be fun.
We celebrated it with delight.
Today, the stakes feel very different. The freedom to read should never be taken for granted, and there is no doubt that it has been challenged.

@bulletproofwriting.bsky.socialToday is Let Freedom Read Day. 📖
Access to ideas, stories, and information builds healthier communities and more thoughtful workplaces. What book are you reading to celebrate?
@jocelynrish.comAlso, since it's the last weekend of #BannedBookWeek, it would be especially poetic to raise a ton of money to elect a governor who opposes book bans in the state that has banned the most books.

And don’t forget: Censorship won’t stop just because Banned Books Week does — you can take action any day of the year!
@stetchat.comCensorship is a national problem that happens at the local level. That means elections matter! The right to read — and democracy — depend on us.
While you’re taking action today on #LetFreedomReadDay, don’t forget to prepare for elections in your community.

@skyeperryman.bsky.socialIt’s #letfreedomreadday an international day of action for First Amendment Rights. 🧵
I chatted w Kim A. Snyder, Director/Producer of the Emmy-winning @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social abt the anti-democratic book bans & censorship laws adopted by states across the country, & how to push back #booksky
My favorite banned books happen to be some of my favorite books of all time. I even got my username from a often-quoted line in one of these books... Can you guess which one? 😊

Take your hands off of books unless you're picking them up to read. You should not pick up books to throw them away or to hide them so that readers can't find them.
