Oh nice. Seattle Public Library has created a membership type for "13 to 26 year olds anywhere in the US" to be able to sign out e and audiobooks as a response to those locales banning books...

This is wonderful.

There's also Archive.org & OpenLibrary.org. They're sibling websites, so one (anonymous, if you want) account provides access to both sites. They have curated lists of banned books too.

I use them for teaching daily, and I'm looking forward to checking out the Seattle library site. Thank you!

@Jeramee @KovuCougar Me, too, especially for free access to books about Chief Seattle.
