Thanks for that 60 Minutes clip, Victoria. When I plugged the 5 ultimately banned books from the list of 97 under review in the Beaufort, SC, school district, into the United Against Book Bans Book Résumés database (https://bookresumes.uniteagainstbookbans.org), only 1 title came up.
In case the book résumé folks weren't aware of the omissions, I filled out the censorship report form (via the ALA website: https://www.ala.org/tools/challengesupport/report). I report suspicious activities — book banning — to the best kind of authorities: Beloved Librarians!
Thank you, Victoria, I’m a huge fan of your researched, informative, whimsical essays. I love the idea here that only the well-off families can have their own banshee!
Keep up the reporting on how librarians are being pressured to remove books from school libraries. I’m going to share the list of the books banned in that South Carolina library.
I can’t wait to read your book - how wonderful to have it in the Inlandia collection!
Last year I was reading about Irish folktales and legends. All the books had Banshees only for the important or well-to-do folks. I guess the supernatural beings have their priorities. 😉
