Let books be!

Did you know it’s Banned Books Week?

October 4–10, we’re joining readers, libraries, bookstores, and communities across the country in celebrating something we care pretty deeply about: the freedom to read.

This year’s theme is: LET BOOKS BE.

Throughout the rest of the week, we’ll be sharing some of the banned and challenged books you can find right here on the shelves at Ink & Ivy, including a few that might seriously surprise you. 👀

You don’t have to agree with every book.
You don’t have to enjoy every book.
You don’t even have to finish every book.

But we believe readers deserve the freedom to choose for themselves. 💚

So this week, we’re letting books be.

The next Quirky Eclectica Artisan Craft & Food Fair is on Saturday 17th October 💛
