SCBWI is a partner of this cool program from the Independent Book Publishers Association in cooperation with EveryLibrary Institute, that aims to buy and donate two books for every one book challenge or ban.
As you consider the many worthy causes you might support this Giving Tuesday and holiday season, I wanted to share that We Are Stronger Than Censorship has reached two exciting milestones:
1)
We've selected the full group of 20 books from independent publishers that will be purchased and donated—two books to offset every one book challenge or ban.
2)
We're buying our first 1,000 books to donate!
You can help us do so much more - please consider donating, and/or buying some STRONGER merch to look stylish while also contributing $16 to buy two books to offset one book challenge or ban.
Other ways to help that cost no money include:
- ordering these books from your local library,
- if you love them review them online,
- thank teachers and librarians in your community who are supporting the freedom to read, and
- spread the word!
Illustrate, Translate, and Write On,
Lee
