Library Bill of Rights
#nationallibraryweek #Library #billofrights #freedomtoread #readbannedbooks #freedom #americanlibraryassociation #book #booksky #bannedbooks #read 📚💙
The American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for information and ideas, and that the following basic policies should guide their services. I. Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation. II. Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval. III. Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment. IV. Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas. V. A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views. VI. Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use. VII. All people, regardless of origin, age, background, or views, possess a right to privacy and confidentiality in their library use. Libraries should advocate for, educate about, and protect people’s privacy, safeguarding all library use data, including personally identifiable information. Adopted June 19, 1939, by the ALA Council; amended October 14, 1944; June 18, 1948; February 2, 1961; June 27, 1967; January 23, 1980; January 29, 2019. Inclusion of “age” reaffirmed January 23, 1996.

A "book" that influenced my childhood. 🤣
S&H Super Saver green stamp book.
Image: fanned stack of vintage S&H Quick Saver Books with tears, discoloration and worn edges, and sheets of 10 point green stamps on a green carpet. The Green Saver reward program was popular in the 60s, 70s & 80s. People collected green stamps from participating grocery stores based on the amount they spent. The stamps were collected in Green Saver books, then redeemed for all types of items (dishware, toys, furniture, appliances, jewelry, etc) that were featured in reward catalogs.

A Scanner Darkly
Philip K Dick
Book cover for A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick. The title is pink, in all caps and looks pixel-y like it was printed on a dot matrix printer. The authors name is in the top left section of the cover, in yellow type with a thin, pink undershadow. The background behind the Authors name looks like a heat signature image with waves of blue, yellow, green and red. The top right corner is black with greenish-yellow symbols. The bottom half of the cover is an image of rows and rows of a repeated bronze metal face looking upward.. the lighting of the faces looks like it's bottom-lit, similar to the spooky look people emulated by shining a flashlight upward from below their face when telling ghost stories around a campfire.

Deep Massage Book
by David Lauterstein
(See Alt txt4 author info)
Front cover of Deep Massage Book: How to Combine Structure and Energy in Bodywork by David Lauterstein. The book cover artwork is abstract with swatches of reds, greens, yellows and a spectrum of hues where the primary colors intertwine. Two hands emerge in shades of blue from the bottom right corner. Lauterstein, along with his business partner and fellow Massage therapist, John Conway, co-founder of The Lauterstein-Conway School of Massage in Austin, Texas. People travel from all over the globe to train with him. He is a musician, a highly respected Massage therapist, instructor, and author who presents workshops around the world. He's a genuine, kind, intuitive, deeply soulful spirit who has been a mentor & role model to many students who've gone on to touch and enhance the lives of thousands upon thousands of people.. his impact is beyond measure. He's practiced for over 40 years and specializes in Deep Massage & Zero Balancing. He's been a massage teacher since 1982 and has trained extensively with a number of industry experts, including but not limited to Dr. Fritz Smith, founder of Zero Balancing. All of these things are apparent in his book & i highly recommend it. I had the pleasure and privilege of attending his school, learning massage from both founders, and a host of other gifted, respected, and knowledgeable practitioners. He changed the way i think about life, energy, touch modalities and how I see myself. I am forever grateful.

Picture of a two-toned book front cover [Title] Nature [Author] Ralph Waldo Emerson The top third of the cover is the color of twice cooked mashed potatoes with butter after five- ten minutes of baking. No additional baking required to match the book cover, but i'd suggest another ten-fifteen minutes before consumption. The lower two-thirds of the book cover is a striking, warm tomato soup orangy-red. All lettering is imprinted with gold-color ink.
