Banned Books Week 2023

October 3, 2023. Tuesday, 2 PM on KPFK 90.7 FM in Southern California. This week on Bibliocracy Radio I share part one of my conversation with the American Library Association’s Director of Office of Intellectual Freedom. Deborah Caldwell-Stone offered analysis and history of my favorite week of the year, and reviewed both current challenges and book bans as well as provided updates on helpful legislative efforts and grassroots and organizational struggles to preserve our right to read, and to have full access to materials, authors, civic and intellectual and creative resources. Check out the American Library Association website and learn more about Banned Books Week.

Next week, part two. Because every week should be Banned Books Week!
