Six weeks after Hurricane Sandy shut down much of lower Manhattan, the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression has returned to its fourth-floor offices on Fulton Street in the South Street Seaport.
The American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression expressed thanks today to the artists, illustrators, publishers, and booksellers who contributed to the success of its just completed Holiday Children’s Art Auction.
American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression President Chris Finan will be honored at the National Coalition Against Censorship’s Annual Celebration of Free Speech & Its Defenders on November 12 in New York City.
Hurricane Sandy has driven the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression from its office building in lower Manhattan, but ABFFE is continuing its preparations for a Holiday Children’s Art Auction to launch on eBay on November 27.
ABFFE will launch an online auction of original children’s art on November 27. The week-long eBay auction will feature work from leading artists and book illustrators.
ABFFE President Chris Finan reflects on the 30th anniversary of Banned Books Week earlier this month, an event that was definitely “not your grandmother’s celebration of the freedom to read.”
Booksellers at Chapter One, Vintage Books, and City Lights are marking this week’s 30th anniversary celebration of Banned Books Week with creative displays, banned book read-outs, and engaging censorship conversations.
