These bracelets are eye-catching pieces of art in their own right, but they also carry an important message about the importance of safeguarding freedom of expression and the right to read. The adult-sized bracelet features such books as Go Ask Alice, The Color Purple, and Howl -- all books that have been challenged or banned by book censors at various times.

What a fabulous idea!! No books should be banned and neither should our right to freedom of expression as it is essential to a free society.

I'm usually not one for gimmick jewelry but this is a great gift for the book lover and/or your free-speech-activist :-) Created for the Americal Library Assn Office of Intellectual Freedom by Carolyn Forsman

I love this bracelet! Mostly because I'm an avid reader and I think it's horrid that any book should be banned!

Perfect stocking stuffer for your uppity library type pal. Now they can wear their literacy on their wrists and look down at the one's who still think that "Sweet Valley High" was pretty edgy stuff... It's also very pretty.

Uppity librarian accoutrements! Order from ALA to save on shipping... and pick up a YA banned books bracelet while you're at it!

It's a mini history of literary/free speech oppression as wearable art. Love it.

  Sweet! The Catcher in the Rye better be in there. Nothing is worth reading unless it's somewhat contorversial.

My 6th grade teacher would kill for this bracelet. How the heck could they ban "To Kill A Mockingbird"? This bracelet sure makes a beautiful thing out of a total disgrace.

Love this! Way to take something ugly, like censorship, and turn it into something much, much better (and an advertisment for all of those "naughty" publications)

Declare your independence as a banned book reader? OK!! I really want one of these bracelets not only because they're gawgeous, but also because I love most of the books on the banned book reading list, (The Giver, Alice in Wonderland, etc.)
