Articles Tagged with Banned books

The upcoming Banned Book Week, September 25 – October 2, 2010, gives us an excuse to wax poetically, briefly, with dignity, and without matches, on how to object, also with dignity and without matches, to a book in your public library. It’s quite easy:

Call, or
Visit, or
Connect to your library’s website.
Express your displeasure, with principled reasons,
And, simply, ask that your complaint about a book be heard (and responded to)
By the Library Director, Library Board and Library Managers.

For example, the Multnomah County Library offers many opportunities for you to communicate with the library’s Director and managers. Or, you can find your library at one of these Oregon library directories.
