Build a #bannedBook library #server on a WiFi #smartLightbulb, that you can leave around anywhere as a dead drop. I personally don’t understand any of the tech but I’m sure someone around here does, and might find it tasty as a project. The more boosts this gets the more likely it’ll find the right eyes. https://www.richardosgood.com/posts/banned-book-library/

The most challenged book of 2025, according to the ALA

The American Library Association says book bans and attempted bans remain at record highs. Efforts to remove titles have become more coordinated and politicized. The ALA on Monday released its annual list of the most challenged books in U.S. schools and libraries. Patricia McCormick's “Sold,” a novel about sex trafficking in India, topped the list. Other targeted books include “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and “Gender Queer.” The ALA recorded challenges to 4,235 different works, nearly matching last year's record. The association notes that many challenges now come from government officials and activists rather than concerned parents.
