Freedom bookmark coming soon

May

The American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE), the bookseller’s voice in the fight against censorship, is coming out a F-READ-OM bookmark that independent bookstores can use to show their support for the freedom to read.abffenew.gif

The bookmark features Roger Roth’s image of the typically brassy green Statue of Liberty who for this occasion is reading a book, and it appears to be a thick hardcover. One of her arms is in the air holding a torch. The copy on the bookmark says: “Your independent bookseller supports the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, protecting your right to read.”

….and ask for one at your bookseller.

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
