I've been talking about book banning for a while now, but to recap: books are good! Let people read books! Let trained librarians make good choices for us. Banning books takes away books from everyone. It is not true that banned books sell more because people automatically buy books they can't find in their library. Often they don't know the book is even there to miss. And yes, books should be age appropriate. So maybe kindergarten kids don't need calculus books just yet. But that doesn't mean calculus books shouldn't exist or even be in the library.
Also, if I thought these weirdoes who keep banning books were serious about keeping kids safe, they wouldn't keep banning a picture book about penguins. A non-fiction picture book about penguins I might add.
But what can you do instead of just agreeing with me and clicking away. Tell your library you love their books. Tel your city council, and or other local government entities you love books. You support the library. You want the library funded. Staffed even. That libraries make things better. Also, if you haven't checked out a book in a while, do that.
