Wishing all the best to @alexyeager.bsky.social and Corey Delmonto for whatever comes next for them.

A yellow board game box with a cartoon image of a green runner bean aggressively hoeing a patch of earth. Two other beans, one orange, one blue, are visible in the background. The blue one is dressed like a cowboy. Box for board game Bohnanza, the title of which is written in red along the top.

"Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." - Judy Blume

#BannedBooksWeek #CensorshipIsSo1984 #LibrarySky

Quote from Judy Blume reads "Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." An illustration shows a young girl reading a book on a green bean bag. The cover of the book says "I love to read." Art is by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, based on a character from The Pain and The Great One.
