Book Banning in Canada Is Quiet, Systemic, and More Effective than Ever
From The Walrus. I was interested to see mention of library books that weren’t “banned” because they were never ordered in the first place. As far as I know, libraries don’t produce lists of books they consider and decline to acquire for whatever reason.
Absence
For most of March, I’ll be taking time away. Don’t expect to see the usual blog posts, although I may pop in from time to time.
Thanks to Anonymous, Christine Jackson, Teresa, and Unknown for this week’s contributions.
I didn’t receive this in my Sunday email post but understand you are taking some time off, much deserved.

Take as much time as you wish this month, just make sure I continue to be subscribed.
