Because of heb, hundreds of children and teens in the Rio Grande Valley will leave #STBF with their very own books. These Youth Book Giveaways are possible because of their continued support, and we couldn’t be more grateful. #HEBHelpingHere #Literature

Hey Book Lovers! Did you know? There has been a dramatic surge in book bans, with PEN America* recording thousands of bans in the years of 2023-2024. And.. more books and stories are being banned daily. Join us this Tuesday October 7th from 5:30-6:30 with an hour of Silent Reading sponsored by @librofm to stand in solidarity with Banned Books week across the Nation! Everyone in attendance will receive a special bookmark from us to you! “Get your Bans off our Books!” See you soon! Marty * PEN America, founded in 1922, and headquartered in New York City, is a 501 nonprofit organization whose goal is to raise awareness for the protection of free expression in the United States and worldwide through the advancement of literature and human rights. #bannedbooks #indiebookstore #mcallen #rgv
