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.
To get a Books Unbanned card at SPL, get reading recommendations, or find out more information about the program, check out:

📚 Bibliothecarissen strijden voor toegang tot informatie!
De documentaire The Librarian laat zien hoe bibliothecarissen, ondanks intimidatie, bedreigingen en zelfs wetten die hun werk strafbaar maken, blijven strijden voor het recht om vrij te kunnen lezen. Een indrukwekkend verhaal.

This is such a great initiative, but it's also deeply sad that a library of banned books is necessary.
Read banned books.

"[Spiegelman] has no hesitation in describing the Trump administration as fascist. 'It’s #fascism,' he says. 'It’s not nazism, per se, but it has a template that it’s following. And it does have to do with othering, which is the basis of what Maus is about, it’s: ‘OK, you guys are mice, we’re cats.’ Maus is among the many books to be banned by various Republican school boards in recent years."
