I absolutely love learning about all of the creative Banned Book events going on across the country. I heard of this one from the most excellent ARSL listserv. What a terrific Banned Book Week event, organized by a particularly inspired librarian. Join Loriene and her students!
Friends and colleagues,
Banned Books Week (BBW) will take place from 25 Sept – 2 October. On Monday, 27 Sept, 6:05 p.m., graduate students in my Monday night “Indigenous Librarianship” class will begin to read excerpts aloud from Sherman Alexie’s “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.” We
invite you to also read “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” during this time (or at another time slot during Banned Books Week) to form a reading chain across Indian Country!1. You can post your info on the Banned Books Week FaceBook page:
