Are any of your local libraries doing anything for Banned Books' Week? My library has a fundraiser every year on the last day of BBW, a readathon. They get volunteers to read out loud all day long from their favorite books. Many volunteers pick banned books, but it's not required, and then raise money from friends or people just stopping in to the library. I was thinking of doing it this year, but my kiddo has a Girl Scout activity this Saturday. (yikes, tomorrow! sheesh, time flies!)
Events will include silent reading sessions in addition to opportunities for literary activism like writing postcards to representatives, signing petitions, and preparing for school or library board meetings. All attendees will receive a free audiobook courtesy of Libro.fm.
