SIBA Banned Books Toolkit
For the second year in a row, SIBA has prepared a toolkit of resources to support its member booksellers promoting Banned Books Week (October 5-11) to their customers. Our toolkit will include links to important resources and marketing materials from the American Library Association, ABA, ABFE, and SIBA’s Peer Bookseller Resource Library.
Also included in the toolkit are links to SIBA’s Southern Bookseller Review (SBR) “Decide For Yourself” feature in our SBR newsletter and social media. Decide For Yourself is an ongoing series highlighting banned and challenged books SIBA booksellers love and recommend to their customers. SIBA provides Canva templates for booksellers to create their own Decide For Yourself flyers, bookmarks, and shelf-talkers for Banned Books Week and beyond in order to bring continued attention to these important books and the issue of book bans and challenges.
