In the Friends of the Key West Library department, we threw an annual fundraising gala at the library, and in the newly spiffed up palm garden next-door. Our guest speakers were Judy Blume, and free speech activist, Pat Scales, talking about the important issue of book banning and what can we do about it now. (Short takeaway: we all have to be involved. Nobody should tell us what we can read unless it’s a parent with their own children!)
