SUMMARY:Banned Books Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:Banned Books Week 2024\nSunday September 22\, 2024 \nVirtual on Zoom – 2pm \nRegistration Required: https://us05web.zoom.us/j/86935252863?pwd=8GIY87i0AJsTBbQWImX3sOVVUlx1ZO.1 \n“This is a dangerous time for readers and the public servants who provide access to reading materials. Readers\, particularly students\, are losing access to critical information\, and librarians and teachers are under attack for doing their jobs.” – Deborah Caldwell-Stone\, director of the ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom \nBanned Books Week celebrates the freedom to read and spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. In a time of intense political polarization\, library staff in every state are facing an unprecedented number of attempts to ban books. ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom ALA documented 1\,269 demands to censor library books and resources in 2022\, the highest number of attempted book bans for more than 20 years ago. The unparalleled number of reported book challenges in 2022 nearly doubles the 729 book challenges reported in 2021. Of the record 2\,571 unique titles targeted for censorship\, most were by or about LGBTQIA+ persons and Black\, Indigenous\, and people of color. Coming from the book industry Larry\, Robin’s Book Store\, and Moonstone have always fought censorship.  Join us as Poets respond to the issue of suppression and their right to write. \nOver 30 poets shared their works to combat book banning for our anthology. \nFeatured Poets\nnot all contributors will be reading \n\n\n\nAustin Alexis \nSusan Baer \nAnne Catharine Blake \nCharles Briggs \nSharnta Bullard \nAJ Chilson \nSuzanne Cooke \nLinda M. Crate \nAmber Deamer \n \nJoanne Durham \nAna Fores Tamayo \nBeejay Grob \nSteven Halpern \nJane Ellen Ibur \nJones Irwin \nMindy Kronenberg \nEelka Lampe \n \nKinard Lang \nScott Leff \nDaphne M \nCurtis Nelson \nFaith Paulsen \nElijah Pringle \nDavid Radavich \nJanet Restino \nLinda Romanowski \n \nKasey Ryman \nGeorge Schaefer \nJennifer Schneider \nKendall Snee \nKen Waldman \nEike Waltz \nKelley White \nSamantha Wright \n
