The ALSC Intellectual Freedom Committee put out a call for creative, innovative and successful Banned Books Week programs and displays and we were overwhelmed with a number of fantastic ideas to share with you. The brilliant Erica Ann Anderson-Senter at Allen County Public Library (IN) made “WANTED” posters with each staff member holding a banned book. These were put up throughout the department and created quite a sensation among the young customers. What a great way to get people talking about intellectual freedom! Customers at Ypsilanti District Library (MI) got fired up about this display. Check out the burning book in the middle of the table – nice touch! Staff at Brownsburg Public Library (IN) put their banned books behind bars. They also offered daily prizes (BBW buttons & free books from the library bookstore) to customers who visited throughout the week.
