Do you ever shake your head and think, "How is it that book banning is a thing now, in the United States?" We do too. Because it's appalling. We spoke to Carolyn Foote, a founding member of the 13,000 follower strong #Freadom, which was started by a group of librarians, with a hashtag takeover of #txlege! This organization is dedicated to fighting censorship, by publicizing how very dangerous it can be, and by providing resources for others to also walk the walk at board meetings, and other public forums. It also has as its mission familiarizing the public-including school administrators who haven't a clue, even if they should-with the role of librarians and school libraries, and how it is not just checking out books and telling kids to be quiet.

In keeping with our literary theme, we also talked about our fave books from elementary school, and holiday decorating contests, revealing that our annoyance at some of the over the top things people do most likely stems from the lack of winning on our part. Sigh.
Thanks to Max Siskind, of the "Max and Maks in the Morning" podcast, for voicing our intro.
