Today is the last day of Freedom To Read Week here in Canada. To finish it off, I thought that instead of writing about just one site as usual, I would do a link dump.
So here are some more great sites to visit:
• Neil Gaiman has a wonderful post on his blog: it’s a letter from a librarian outlining her experience with attempts to censor material at the library. I can’t begin to sum it up—I just recommend that everyone read it (via Bookshelves of Doom)
• Quotations on Censorship (e.g. “You have not converted a man because you have silenced him.” (John Morley)
• The Censorship Pages
• Bonfire of the Liberties
• PEN (“Promoting Literature, Defending Freedom of Expression”)
• Free A Challenged Book
Don’t forget too that you can take part in the wonderful Banned Books Reading Challenge.
Finally, you might like to visit bookshelves of doom and buy the wonderful T-shirt that says “Scrotum is not a dirty word.”
Happy reading, everyone.
