Banned Books Back! Packaging Party

Help send books removed from Florida public schools back to kids in Florida! We'll be packaging free picture books and chapter books for ages 4–12, along with zines and stickers. No experience is necessary, we'll show you how it's done!

Last winter, our collective received a serendipitous donation of children's books that had been removed from Duval County Public Schools as part of an ongoing effort to censor titles depicting queer joy, civil rights history, immigrant stories, and more. Right now, our collective is harboring dozens of boxes of these "dangerous" titles—but not for long. With your support we'll be sending these Banned Books... Back!

Learn more about the campaign can be found at firestorm.coop/bannedbooks.html.

The organizer of this event marked it kid-friendly. 😛
