This is local Amsterdam news (in Dutch) about the library putting on a display of books banned from American schools and libraries, in little stars-and-stripes coffins. They say it’s because whatever nonsense America gets up to, the Dutch need to be ready to guard against it being pushed here a few years later. https://www.at5.nl/nieuws/234309/wat-je-in-florida-niet-mag-lezen-wordt-nu-tentoongesteld-in-de-oba

In this time of rampant book banning, a reminder that four library systems in the US offer the Books Unbanned program giving access to their electronic collections to young people anywhere across the country. Seattle Public Library's program is open to young people from 13 to 26, and over 14,000 have signed up for a card, and checked out more than 334,000 ebooks and audiobooks so far.
