Banning books should be banned

I'd talked myself out of using this month's newsletter to address book bans. "Too much too soon," I told myself. "Big Hill Books hasn't even opened yet."

Then President Biden specifically addressed book banning in his re-election campaign announcement. If our president considers this topic important enough for the 2024 election, surely a new bookstore owner shouldn’t shy away from it. I hope you won’t either. Please scan this QR code to learn how you can help fight book bans. Learn the facts. Diffuse the disinformation. Support local libraries and librarians.

If all it takes is one person to ban a powerful work of literature, history could repeat itself. Let’s not let that happen. ~ Beth
