Freedom to read

ALA | Banned Books Week


Sorry to have missed the actual week for this.  Need I say more? 

Anne Hutchinson read the Bible; Benjamin Franklin printed books; Thomas Jefferson sold his library to Congress. 

Not only freedom of the press to print, but also our freedom (responsibility) to read are necessary for our informed participation as citizens. 

(Notice, the conflation of freedom and right on the poster.)
