Super Cool Libraries

Let's face it, we all love libraries.

The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library is fighting back against the school board in Republic, MO that decided to ban SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE and TWENTY BOY SUMMER from their school libraries and curriculum. Republic High School students can go to their website to request a copy of SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE. You can donate to help offset shipping costs.

(As a side note, the ebook edition of TWENTY BOY SUMMER is on sale for $2.99.)

While Republic, MO. earns a frowny face, Kansas City, MO. gets a smiling one. I just discovered the Kansas City Library.


IT IS SHAPED LIKE A GIANT BOOKSHELF. How did I not know about this before now?

    I wish all libraries looked like that...they'd be easier to spot! ;)

    Hi there...long time, no visit. :) I read about this action earlier today and shouted a hearty "Woo Hoo!" So glad the library took up the challenge.
