And I was tongue-in-cheek saying this was like book burning. And there it is as one of the titles. Amazing. Can you imagine if a few people really had their way and we lost these treasures of literature? I'm horrified, frankly.terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095349422849979251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11290750.post-63533667883748253952008-12-02T08:08:00.000-11:002008-12-02T08:08:00.000-11:00We here at Shelf Talk, the Seattle Public Library ...We here at Shelf Talk, the Seattle Public Library blog, have joined, and have started our own <A HREF="http://shelftalk.spl.org/tag/banned-book-of-the-month-club/" REL="nofollow"><B>Banned Book-of-the-Month Club</B></A> with our inaugural title, Fahrenheit 451.

Here in Wellington, New Zealand, the city libraries are planning on reading banned/challenged kids books - Feb 25-29. http://www.wcl.govt.nz/kids/whatson.html<BR/><BR/>I'm off to a start on my first book - my criteria is: must've been banned/challenged, and available online. Progress reports at marginalia.ako.net.nz.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>LynseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11290750.post-49622273910356971012008-02-08T04:30:00.000-11:002008-02-08T04:30:00.000-11:00I've joined!
