ABFFE Releases New Banned Books Week Poster

The American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE) has announced the release of a colorful new poster celebrating Banned Books Week, which this year is September 23 - 30. The poster, which incorporates ABFFE's popular FREADOM logo, depicts the Statue of Liberty reading a book. The image was created by artist Roger Roth for The American Story: 100 True Tales From American History, written by Jennifer Armstrong and published by Random House Children's Books.

The free poster can be downloaded in PDF format from the ABFFE website and printed on 11" x 17" paper using either the bookseller's color printer or at a local copy shop.

"We are very grateful to Mr. Roth and Random House for permission to use this wonderful image to help celebrate Banned Books Week," ABFFE President Chris Finan said.

Finan also noted that it was not too late for bookseller to order an ABFFE donation box for Banned Books Week. More than 120 booksellers have volunteered to help raise funds for ABFFE by exhibiting the boxes, which are attractive, easy-to-assemble, and do not occupy much counter space.
