Books are great — and having friends to share them with is even better.

So here are two articles about literary-minded friends joining forces to boost reading.

The not-as-cheerful one comes from Texas, a state making headlines for its reading restrictions.

Longtime friends Becky Calzada and Carolyn Foote were, understandably, alarmed by and angry over legislative attacks on books.

So the pair — one a library coordinator, one a retired librarian — founded FReadom.us, a resource for embattled librarians and frustrated supporters.

You can read about FReadom.us and its efforts in People.

On a more optimistic note, the Guardian ran a feature about multiple sets of friends who are opening independent bookstores across the United Kingdom.
