We built something to give back to our community — and to shine a light on how broken this system really is. Right here in Texas, over 5,000 books have been banned or pulled from libraries and classrooms. Not challenged. Not debated. Just... removed. So we made the Banned Books Lending Library — a space where those books are still accessible to anyone who wants to read them, no permission slip required. After 6 months of work, we’re proud to finally open our doors to the public. Come check it out. Take a book, leave a book. Read what they’d rather you not see, not know, not think. Wrestle with it. Challenge it. Disagree with it. And above all — learn from it. 914 Main St, Bastrop, TX

This is a bookstore in Melbourne, Australia called "Amplify.” They only stock and sell books from non-white authors This man walks in and says he’s a Greek author and is wondering if he could be sold in their store “Unfortunately, we consider Greeks white” Holy cr*p The bookstore only carries books by Black, Indigenous and people-of-colour author. Whites are explicitly banned from being carried This is insane

First grade teacher at @DeWitt_Panthers encourages teachers to read “banned books.” Some of the books she promotes include teaching kids that they can be born in the wrong body, that they can be trans, pronoun books, and books that encourage discussions on gender identity. This is what they’re teaching your young kids in schools. If you oppose teaching 6-year-olds that they can be trans, they will call you a far right Nazi extremist book banner.

A woman is at a City Council meeting wanting to get more books banned in Florida so this woman came up to try & talk to her about why she thinks that they should be banned when she could just talk to her child about not reading those specific books instead of affecting everyone.

Was Ezekiel’s Story about a UFO Encounter? Banned Books of the Bible…. The Book of Enoch “I do not Believe you can be a Christian and not believe in Extraterrestrials”… I’m sure this is going to stir the pot… Do you believed there were books of the Bible that were banned? Extraterrestrials, are they demons? Where does the Book of Enoch fall? Have you read it? What do you think? Clip Full

Remembering today a man who pretended to be liberal, kind, and tolerant, but banned books, censored films, jailed editors, cancelled dissent, and brought in constitutional amendments that curbed our freedom of speech and expression forever. Remembering Dictator Jawaharlal Nehru.

Beach-reading season is here, and yes, there are books worth reading while spending hours in the sun covered in SPF 50. For the sixth episode of our book recommendation series, we asked Emma Straub—owner of NYC’s bookstore ‘Books Are Magic’ and author of ‘American Fantazy’—for books to add to your summer reading list. Three names to remember: Ada Calhoun, Meg Wolitzer, and Colson Whitehead. Filmed at Books Are Magic, New York. Hosted by Lucy Feldman. Produced by Alyona Uvarova.

Carl Sagan put it beautifully. "If I were to read a book a week for my entire adult lifetime, and I lived an ordinary lifetime, when I was all done, I would have read maybe a few thousand books. No more. In this library, that's from about here to about here. But that's only a tenth of a percent or so of the total number of books in the library. The trick is to know which books to read."

THIS IS SO GOOD!! Singer Pink sticks it to DeSantis and says she’ll GIVE AWAY banned books at her Florida concerts. At her South Florida stops, the singer announced thats she’ll hand out a whopping 2,000 copies of four books that have been banned by various public schools. “It’s especially hateful to see authorities take aim at books about race and racism and against LGBTQ authors and those of color,” Pink said. All four books — “The Family Book” by Todd Parr, “The Hill We Climb” by Amanda Gorman, “Beloved” by Toni Morrison and a book from “Girls Who Code,” founded by Resha Saujani — have appeared on PEN American’s Index of School Book Bans. What are your thoughts? Anyone else think this is a FANTASTIC idea? 💙
