Banned Books Week and the USA Patriot Act
LIS News pointed to this item discussing Banned Books Week and the USA Patriot Act. Blake highlights some nice quotes from the article. My favorite is:
“Somewhere these books have been banned from a library, but not here,” said Driftwood library director Sue Jenkins. “All of them are available to check out.”
I still have not finished my Banned Books Week reading. I thought I would have finished A Day No Pigs Would Die already, but my hectic schedule hasn’t produced much time for pleasure reading. Today, I read a passage containing graphic cruelty to a dog and a weasel. Some members of the book group I’m in who are sensitive to violence against animals should not read this book.
