It was Banned Books Week last week. Did you know it is still an issue? The Mercury out of Portland also has a list of books challenged in Oregon.
Did you know Overdrive is integrated with Bing search engine? Overdrive is the company behind Library2Go, Oregon's digital library consortium. Search for a title in Bing, and you'll notice now on the right side of the screen there's an option to borrow the book from Overdrive. I searched for "donna tartt the goldfinch" and despite the weird results (El Jilguero?), I found it under "Read this Book".
The Library of Congress has many many things in its collection. And people do many many creative things with them. And creepy things. Artist Kevin Weir has more examples over at his site.
