This timeline shows 30 years of Banned Books. A really neat visual that takes a look at books that have been banned over the years.

This is not the first time Barnes & Noble has done this sort of "banning" as the author calls it. Last spring they pulled DC Comics because DC was making a deal to only work with Amazon. The comics eventually came back, but it made a pretty big statement. I don't think we've heard the end of this.

I don't know how I missed this, the book banning in Arizona (even though according the schools its not book banning), but I like the sounds of librotraficantes. Very interesting read as we get closer to banned books week.

This is just a warm and fuzzy piece for a Friday. But this is really cool what people are doing here. It reminds me of a story a I read a couple years ago about a girl lending books out of her locker (seen here: http://www.care2.com/causes/student-runs-secret-banned-books-library-from-locker.html) Hopefully the city in this case will see that the people want/need a library and turn it into one!
