When we ban books, we're closing off readers to people, places, and perspectives. But when we stand up for stories, we unleash the power that lies inside every book. Let Freedom READ! #BannedBooksWeek

Love seeing this essay by @mxdibe but not as much as I love her collaboration on all that resulted from these discoveries: new site stories, teaching @williamandmary and hands-on re-curation. @MonroeHighland has been so fortunate with her as @MellonFdn post doc.
Highland’s research started an all-encompassing project. This new essay by @mxdibe shares the story of the processes that resulted when @SaraBonHarper started exploring questions about the site.
