The New York Times recently ran an article on some recent book challenges at the Brooklyn Public Library, and their classy-but-firm responses. Don't miss the actual challenges and responses, linked in the sidebar. Thanks to John Green, whose Looking for Alaska was among those challenged.
The main character of the comic strip Luann has been volunteering at her local library for some time now. This week, she talks to a visiting Aussie about why American libraries are awesome. Which they totally are. This was my favorite:

This comic strip is very meaningful. I think it made perfect sense but at the same time there is no way that we can change the future. Future: Libraries closing, students not getting good education anymore because of electronics mostly. The future may hold many new things good and bad but there will never be a way that we can tell whats coming before us ( telling the future) because it is always changing right before our eyes. Everyones eyes. Thank you for that great post.
Omygosh!! I love reading comix.
