Banned Book Week is well under way! I love seeing all the different ways libraries, book stores, schools, bloggers, etc... have used this week to celebrate the freedom to read. The displays and activities across the US have been truly inspiring but I have to admit one of my favorite parts about this week are the
Banned Books Trading Cards from the
Lawrence Public Library.

Since 2012 the Lawrence Public Library has been asking artists to submit artwork featuring their favorite banned or challenged book. Out of the many wonderful and creative submissions they (somehow) narrow it down to 7 pieces, which are then printed and distributed daily during Banned Book Week. Unfortunately I don't live in Kansas - but that's okay because you can
purchase the 2013 and 2014 cards and have it delivered to your home.
You can see the card of the day on the
Lawrence Public Library Facebook page. Also check out some of the other ways Lawrence is celebrating BBW.
