Hi everyone! My name is Martha, a recently retired high school librarian. In celebration of the premier of THE LIBRARIANS on PBS Independent Lens on Feb. 9, I’m raising money to help stop book banning. Donate at least $5, and I'll toss the name of your local book banner into the litter box. My cats -- Alice, Trixie, Mazzy, and Suzie -- will arrange for an appropriate tribute.

All funds raised will go to the wonderful folks at EveryLibrary who helped defeat the book banners that came after my high school library, as shown in THE LIBRARIANS .

If you support the First Amendment freedom to read, make a stink about book banning!

Thanks!

How to add your book banner to the litter box:

Don't be a skunk; use a creative nickname or your region to identify your book banner. That's the info that will go in the litter box.
