While looking at the ALA site for Banned Book Week I came across the current Celebrity READ posters in their shop.\u00c2\u00a0 It reminded me that during high school I had the David Bowie poster hanging on my wall.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t recall how I got it.\u00c2\u00a0 It seems like it should have been a prize for the summer reading club but I was too old for the club then.\u00c2\u00a0 There used to be an age limit on the reading club though I don’t think they actually said there was – what teenager wants a happy meal coupon for reading books?\u00c2\u00a0 Now our library has multiple summer reading clubs for kids, teens and adults.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
