Wow 🤩 we are just blown away by the love and support we felt at today’s screening of BANNED Together ! There is no other way we would’ve rather kicked off #bannedbooksweek here in Beaufort County. Let’s keep it going!
Every year, this report from PEN America is alarming. This one is a 5-alarm fire.
Please see our formal statement regarding PEN America ‘s memo, which was released yesterday.

"I am often asked how I became an activist, and my answer is always that I never set out to be one. I simply wanted to save a book that mattered to me, and I never stopped advocating." #BannedBooksWeek Youth Honorary Chair Julia Garnett shares the story➡️ schoollibraryjournal.com/story/Evolutio…
As ALA President Cindy Hohl said, "This #BannedBooksWeek, we’re proud to have Congressional leaders standing with us and with communities that are fighting back to protect their libraries and schools from the censors." Thank you Rep. Jamie Raskin & Senator Brian Schatz!
This #BannedBooksWeek, I'm challenging everyone to #ResolveToRead and share a passage from a favorite banned book. I read from Orwell's 1984. Take the challenge, then pass it on! Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost, Congressman Greg Casar and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: I challenge you to read a banned book out loud!
Y’all… Our freedom to read is a cornerstone of democracy. This #BannedBooksWeek, join me and Legal Defense Fund to take meaningful action! Legal Defense Fund
