A
Fahrenheit 451 for
kids, The Property of the Rebel Librarian
is a must-read for anyone who loves books, libraries, and the freedom
to choose what you will read.
June
Harper is a rule-follower until the rules don't make sense anymore.
Her very strict parents get upset about a book she is reading that
they decide is "too scary" for her. June doesn't agree.
As active members of the PTSA, her parents get the librarian who
recommended the book suspended from her job. They also confiscate
"objectionable" books in the school's library as well as
June's personal stash. Objections include anything that might
inspire children to rebel as well as Captain Underpants
because the word "underpants" is in the title.
June
knows what they are doing is wrong, but doesn't know what to do about
it. That is, until she comes across A
Little Free Library
and borrows a book from it.
As
someone who loves libraries for the autonomy they promote and the
expansion of knowledge about the world and people both similar and
different from yourself, I cannot promote this book enough.
I also loved how significant the contribution of the Little Free
Library was as someone who has one on her front porch. The
thought of being able to find a way to liberate a community within a
repressive majority was inspiring. June
wasn't rebelling for the sake of rebelling. She was rebelling
because she was right. And while her actions were very divisive,
many people rallied behind her cause.
I was ugly-crying by the end of it.
