Banned Books Week Banner
Image by DML East Branch
During Banned Books Week, we show our support of the intellectual freedom and the freedom to read. One of the reccuring images we have used each year is this banner we created with 99 of the 100 most banned books for the years 1990-2000. There are a surprising number of literary classics, children's books and books we've all grown up reading at home, in the library and at school. Authors like Roald Dahl, Stephen King, Judy Blume and Chris Crutcher even have several titles on this list!
Can you figure out which book is missing? (lulu852 was the first to guess the answer HERE.)
What is your favorite Banned Book?
How many have you read?
Pretty soon the list for years 2000-2010 will be released, what are your guesses about the books we'll see on that list? One thing we're fairly certain of, Harry Potter (series) will feature pretty high on the list!
Check out this incredible short film David Jewell made teasing the full-length documentary online!
Your library will always support your choice to read, and your choice to not read any of these books. We feel the best way to support your freedom to read is to make sure no one else makes that choice for you. Stop by your local library and enjoy your freedoms, and all that the library has to offer!
Aws!

My Photo Book
Image by swainboat
Well i finally got ambitious and published a photo book from Blurb Books. It was quite a learning experience putting it together. I choose a large landscape book with premium paper.
This style offered only 160 pages, so out of over 430 photos in my Central and Eastern Or. set, it was tough picking out my best and most interesting pictures.
I'm not going into any effort to promote this book. I just wanted one for myself and a maybe gifts for friends.
I think the only people that would be interested in buying it, would probably live in the eastern part of our state.
My next project will be the back-roads in NW Oregon.
