This month in Michigan!

It's Library Appreciation Month here in Michigan!

"A truly great library contains something in it to offend everyone." -- Jo Goodwin

For this week's Banned Books Week​, we're honoring an author who has spent decades fighting against censorship: Judy Blume. As she once observed: "It's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers.”

For two inspiring books about girls fighting against censorship in schools - both for ages 9 to 12 - we highly recommend "Property of the Rebel Librarian" (https://www.amightygirl.com/property-of-the-rebel-librarian) and "Ban This Book" (https://www.amightygirl.com/ban-this-book)

For two excellent books about Mighty Girls who find hope by reading forbidden books - both for ages 12 and up - we recommend "Voices" (https://www.amightygirl.com/voices) and "The Book Thief" (https://www.amightygirl.com/the-book-thief)

For stories about girls living in real-life oppressive societies with little respect for freedom of expression, visit our blog post "The Fragility of Freedom: Mighty Girl Books About Life Under Authoritarianism" at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=32426
