This year’s Banned Books Week got a boost from KVUE reporter Eric Pointer.
Pointer talked to Library Foundation Program Manager Kathryn Lamb. “We really want all Austinites to know that Austin Public Library is a big supporter of freedom to read,” said Lamb.
Austin authors Evan Griffith and Liz Garton Scanlon, both members of Authors Against Book Bans.
“The argument that banning books protects them [the children] really flies in the face of what we know that access to books does, which is help kids understand the world,” Garton Scanlon said.
