Banned Books Week
Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment.
Librarian and Storyteller Phil Sheridan reads from William Steig's Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. This Caldecott Award-winning book was contested by the Illinois Police Association in 1977. The group wanted the book removed for its portrayal of police as pigs.
Filmed at the Marin City Library in Marin City, California.
Fried Brains—Alta Ifland
A story I read recently by a young lady who grew up in Communist Romania. What life must be like in a repressive regime.
Deceit by James Siegel – Warner/Random House
Here is the opening of “Deceit” as read by Phil. It is a nice short story unto itself—and you can pause it to see if you are able to solve the traveler's puzzle.
A Story and a Song—a folktale from India
This is a 4–minute tale from East India that’s worth listening to if you, like me, sometimes suffer from timidity.
