This week is Banned Book Week, an annual event which highlights the value of free and open access to information.
As part of this, we are offering a chance to write letters to politicians asking them to oppose attempts to ban books (and access to information in general).
We will provide the stationery, envelopes, stamps, addresses for local and national politicians, and a template for letters (if you want one) and will collect your completed letters and mail them off (or you can send them yourself, if you desire).
All you have to do is express why you are opposed to book banning and censorship.
Teens and tweens! As part of Banned Book Week (an annual event which highlights the value of free and open access to information), we will be making buttons to show support for keeping books unbanned.
Come down to the Kensington Community Room from 3:30 to 4:30 and make buttons expressing your support for books and your opposition to censorship.
You can make your own original design, and we will also have some ready-made designs for you to use if, that's what you prefer.
Come play a game of Banned Books Trivia at Kensington Library! Learn about the history and trends of book banning and what you can do to stop them! All are welcome.
