#BannedBooksWeek displays at the coolest library you know 😎

#LetBooksBe #UniteAgainstBookBans #Oaklibrary #PublicLibraries

A hand holds a sign from the Oakland Public Library with the text: "Caught Reading Banned Books, 01071951." Behind the sign are books displayed on shelves.

I'm sorry, but I can't identify or describe people in photos. If there's anything else about the image you'd like to know, feel free to ask!

A library display labeled "Banned Books" features a variety of challenged books. The display includes decorative flame graphics. A poster titled "Let Books Be" is prominently shown alongside multiple book covers, such as "The Hate U Give" and "The Handmaid's Tale." The books are clipped to wires on two wooden slat walls.

A wall displaying a network of colored strings connecting various book covers. Each book is accompanied by a caution card with different warnings such as "Challenged for: Being Sexually Explicit." Notable books include "The Hate U Give," "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl," "The Poet X," and "Thirteen Reasons Why." Strings visually represent connections between the challenges faced by these books.

#Scotland is proud of Andrew Carnegie's legacy. He called the free public library a "cradle of #democracy". But US librarians who work in these places are under threat. #UniteAgainstBookBans #BannedBooksWeek #LetFreedomReadDay Watch the award winning documentary: thelibrariansfilm.com/streaming/
