Banned Books Week celebrates an idea that shouldn't be radical: you get to choose what you read. That freedom is under serious pressure. In 2025, the ALA documented the second-highest number of censorship attempts on record, and 92% of titles were targeted by organized campaigns, not individuals.
A library shelf displays more than two dozen banned and challenged books, crossed with yellow caution tape reading "CAUTION" and "CUIDADO." Titles include Maus, Persepolis, The Hate U Give, Gender Queer, Kindred, Slaughterhouse-Five, Parable of the Sower, The 1619 Project, and Educated, alongside "Let Books Be" and "Freadom" signs.A graphic titled "Top 11 Most Challenged Books of 2025" from the American Library Association, showing cropped cover art from each of the 11 books against a bright blue background. Text at the bottom reads "Protect the freedom to read" and "ala.org/bbooks."An American Library Association infographic titled "Censorship by the Numbers." In 2025, 4,235 unique titles were challenged, the second-highest number ever recorded, compared with an average of 273 per year from 2001 to 2020. Nearly 92% of censorship attempts came from pressure groups and the decision-makers they influenced. Only 3% came from parents and 1% from patrons. Most challenges took place in public libraries (51%) and school libraries (37%). A line graph shows the share of titles targeted by organized campaigns rising from 6% in 2005 to 92% in 2025.An illustrated poster by Loveis Wise for Banned Books Week, October 4–10, 2026. A woman with long dark curly hair reads a blue book, surrounded by flowers, ribbons, butterflies, a hot air balloon, a stack of books, and tiny people reading. Large blue text reads "Let Books Be" and "Protect the freedom to read."

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Dolly Parton started the Imagination Library in 1995 for her dad, who never learned to read. Thirty years later, little ones throughout Ypsi get a book in the mail from her every month. What a legend. 💛
Pink graphic reading "Dolly Day 9.25" in large bold letters. Dolly Parton, smiling with big blonde hair and a teal sequined jacket, holds an open book behind a row of colorful children's books. A quote reads: "If I'm remembered 100 years from now, I hope it will not be for looks, but for books." It's followed by Dolly Parton's signature, the years 1946–2026, and the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library logo.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

Use this foolproof flowchart to figure out if you need more books. (Spoiler: you do.) The Friends of YDL Fall Book Sale starts tomorrow! 📖 Thursday | 6-8pm (Friends of YDL members only; memberships start at $10) 📖 Friday | 11am-5pm 📖 Saturday | 11am-3pm 📖 Sunday | 1-3pm
Flowchart titled 'Is there a problem?' with two paths. If yes, it asks 'Can books help?'—if yes, arrows point to four stacks of books (colorful spines, a ribbon-tied bundle, antique leather-bound books, and orange Penguin Classics); if no, it asks 'Are you sure?'—yes leads to the book stacks, no loops back to 'are you sure?' If the answer to 'Is there a problem' is no, the chart asks 'Are you sure?'—yes leads to 'you're right,' no leads to the book stacks. Text reads: 'really? not even gorgeous, mind-altering writing that makes you feel alive?' Ypsilanti District Library logo in the bottom corner.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a man sitting at a restaurant table. He is sweating. He says "Y-you have beautiful eyes".
The second panel zooms in on the man's face. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous."
In panel three we see that a biblically accurate angel is sitting on the other side of the table.
In panel four we zoom in on the angel's face, who says "BE NOT AFRAID".

The AI extinction stuff is a distraction from the fact that the tech simply isnt profitable and likely won't ever be. If they say the lattet the bubble crashes over night. If they say the former, its a way for a more controlled collapse. Its also a selfish way for these assholes to save face.

I got fired from AMC because whenever
someone ordered a small popcorn, I'd
"accidentally" fill up a large bucket and tell
them we ran out of smalls.

Now I work at McDonald's, and you better
believe you order a 6 piece, you're getting
8 or 9 nuggets. Order a 10 piece? There are
at least 13 in that box.

l'll keep doing this sh*t until the day I die.
F_ck these giant corporations. I'm here for
