Nothing like a good book to get cozy with. I buy mostly used books cheaper and easily disposed of . pitched into a "donation box"

Holding a book evokes very happy memories of my childhood spent in libraries. I have 2 e-readers that I only use when I travel and a book takes up valuable space in my carryon.

There's nothing like holding a book in your hands, opening it, with the scent of printed pages, especially a brand new one! The excitement of turning the page in anticipation, not always knowing what happens next, or where the story might be headed - you cannot get that from an electronic device.

I listen to lots of audio books while cooking or treadmilling. (But when I read with my eyes, of course I read paper books as nature intended.)

It is our first amendment right to read whatever books we choose. It is hypocritical to talk about "freedom" and then think these selected few should be telling us what "they" think we should read. It's tyranny at it's best and disgusting.

I read every day. This is supposed to be a free country. Parents need to be aware of what their kids are reading and explain issues, not hide them. Banning something just makes it more appealing to kids.

You know who banned books and burned them? The Nazis.

No books are being banned. Parents are just asking that certain inappropriate literature not be accessible to underage minors. Get over yourselves already

I only voted no because I don't like to read. If I did , then I would read what ever book I wanted to. I don't like books being banned when my tax dollars pay for libraries.

The only books that parents want removed from school are not age appropriate. Can I go to a school library/public library and check out a Playboy or Hustler magazine. There is NO BANNING of books going on just concerned parents wanting age appropriate material for their kids. Stop virtue signaling!

I like to read but I’m getting more news about Ukraine and Israel by listening to podcasts on YouTube.
