One of my quiet guerrilla tactics against book banners is to buy banned books at the thrift store and place them in Little Free Libraries:

@mckra1g In the same vein, I try to get info out about free #library eCards for youth:

@mckra1g I don’t even want to know why that book is banned. It was such a rock for me as a pre teen.

@TracyTThomas

My guess: it’s a pretty accurate depiction of pre-pubescent experiences into the maturation of humans as adults (and all the fears, doubts and bodily effluent involved in the process).

@mckra1g FFS, who would want kids to not know those things? If the people banning books want there to be more children in the world, do they think it’s going to happen via immaculate conception?

@TracyTThomas “good girls” don't think about sex. Sex is defiling, nasty, brutish and meant to be endured solely for the purpose of procreation. Boys are hormonally-crazed creatures meant to be tamed, harnessed and trained to support their ambulatory incubators, er, their wives when they reach manhood. Strumpets and roundheels are to be used for seed-sowing practice so that chaste good girls may be a man's original inseminator. /s

@vincent

“[Judy] Blume's most popular novel, Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret, is also her most banned.”

Full list of her banned books:

@mckra1g @vincent Book banning is appalling. My neighbor set up a little free library. Content seems variable but no pushing banned books as far as I can tell. Wish she would. Neighborhood is Republican (unfortunately) so maybe that has influenced her choices.

@William3rd @mckra1g @vincent can you put some in? Most little free libraries allow you to leave books, too

@William3rd @mckra1g @vincent The usual vibe with LFLs is "Take a book, leave a book" you could always take one, and leave another one. (maybe under cover of darkness).
