Freedom to Read

February 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment

In honour of the start of Freedom to Read week here, I thought I’d post this link. If you just followed it, you’ll know that it is a pic of the Parthenon, or at least a replica, made of banned books. Very cool way to combine two of my favorite things – books and antiquity. The best part – when it was taken down, the public was allowed to keep the books! It’s been out for a while but I felt it was good to share again.

Possible Ban

A close-to-home call to remove Philip Pullman’s book The Golden Compass. It’s always saddening to see such calls. especially after only 1 complaint.

Update – Looks like others in the area are following suite.
