On-the-ground book ban reporting

It's Prison Banned Books Week, and our newsfeed reflects that.

Book Riot shared a piece called "Uninspired Reading," written by Ken Meyers about his not-exactly-consensual experience switching from physical books to an officially sanctioned e-reader as an inmate.

Slate, meanwhile, shared an article from Robert Lee Williams on what it's like to have a prison law library lose access to word-processing software and be relegated to typewriters and handwriting in its place.

And more broadly, NPR's Code Switch podcast sends B.A. Parker around the country to see what schools and libraries look like at the start of another academic year in this book-ban-heavy era.
