Here's a list of public libraries offering access (including ebooks) to books that have been banned after campaigns by right-wing extremists around the country. They're available to people 13-21 years of age.

Pass it around.

@dangillmor Just call them "fascists". It's far too late in the Revolution to pussyfoot around in case you upset the dictator.

@dangillmor I'd also like to piggyback on to this to remind everyone who is able to donate to your local library. They are a resource that must be protected!

@dangillmor This is unbelievable: some kind of underground book movement is starting in the USA, like there used to be in the USSR and in Hitler's Germany about entartete Kunst (degenerate art). I also remember the ' Nihil Obstat' in the books in Catholic Libraries, meaning ' no objections' from the bishopry in the 20th century.
USA is on the way to a fundamentalistic Christian theocracy, not unlike the theocracies in Iran, Afghanistan, Saoudi Arabia, Israel, and slowly by slowly in India.
