Vermont Blog Roundup -- Banned Books Week Edition

Yep, it's Banned Books Week in the USA, during which we celebrate the freedom to read whatever the hell we want.

Some links in honor of the occasion:

• Librarian and internet folk hero Jessamyn West meditates on the future of bookmobiles.

• Ann Seidl's movie The Hollywood Librarian is playing tomorrow night in Huntington, introduced by Vermont's own world-famous cartoonist Alison Bechdel. Her graphic memoir, Fun Home, was banned from a library in Missouri last year, if only briefly.

• Librarian, writer and tech geek Meredith Farkas links to many, many useful librarian blogs.

• Tricia blogs about her daughter Georgia's baby steps. I include this because I can. I'm celebrating the fact that we can read blogs like this.

• Here's the blog for the Winooski Memorial Library. I just volunteered to be on the Library Advisory Board. I think there are still openings, if any of you Winooski residents want to join me!
