Anyone who reads my blog knows where I stand on the right to read. They know I eschew censorship in any form. They know I speak out against attempts to curtail access to books and reading. I am not alone, thankfully. There are organizations who fight against book banning. The American Library Association offers a ton of resources for those who wish to engage in the battle. The Office of Intellectual Freedom (http://www.ala.org/aboutala/offices/oif) and the Banned Books site (http://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/banned) are just two resources. Other resources are located here http://bannedbooksweek.org and here http://ncac.org and here http://www.ftrf.org.
It is imperative that we stand up and speak out when we encounter censorship in any form. There are plenty of opportunities, sadly.
