Via Literary Activism…
Here’s a fun way to fight book bans. Celebrities from Daniel Radcliffe to Janelle Monáe have donated personalized books, meet-and-greets, and other prizes to Pride and Less Prejudice’s Banned Together auction , which raises money to send LGBTQ-inclusive books to classrooms across the United States.
The auction started yesterday and runs until September 29th. Items up for auction include a signed and personalized photo from Daniel Radcliffe, a copy of Memory Librarian personalized and signed by Janelle Monáe, vinyl of The Record by boygenius and a signed lithograph, a personalized video message from Lance Bass, a 30-minute virtual design consultation with Bobby Berk plus a signed and personalized copy of his book Right at Home, a signed and personalized Elvira “Coffin” table book, and so much more.
In addition to the celebrity donated items, there are also lots of other items, from chocolate bars to socks to Bookshop.org gift certificates, so even if none of those names are interesting to you, it’s worth checking it out!
