So many conservatives across Texas have been spending their precious time on Earth getting upset that anyone can pick up a book they like and check it out at the library. What a bunch of fools! Celebrate your ability to read and read whatever the hell you want with Austin Public Library. Starting Banned Books Week in style, this event features readings from local authors, a panel led by Spike Gillespie, live music, and on-site activities from local lit lovers like Book Arts Center, Typewriter Rodeo, Reverie Books, and The Beautiful and Banned podcast. Long live the library, baby. – James Scott
