Demi’s Banned Book Project

About the Project

This project hopes to disseminate pocket constitutions, banned books, important historical works of fiction and non fiction for free.

Thumb drives are also needed to distribute PDF versions!

Zines are always welcome!

This project hopes to not only stock my personal traveling little free banned book library but also contribute to little free libraries in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and beyond!

Materials will also be distributed at public gatherings and protests.

We need your help!

How can you help?

Pocket constitutions, books, and unused thumb drives can be sent to:
