Banned Books Week...Don't be A Nazi!
Help support "Banned Books Week"!!
You may all be thinking "Ummm...Megan, why on Earth would you want to ban books, which are like your children? Are you TOTALLY INSANE?!?!"
Au contraire! "Banned Books Week" is not about banning books, it is about raising the awareness that libraries could ban books at any time, and people who rely on that avenue for their reading will no longer have access to some awesome material.
