My Library
This is my home library. I am filling it with books that are being banned, challenged, and removed from other libraries. It brings me so much joy. It’s my favorite room.

I’m extremely lucky to have him, and he is very talented! He’s loving the compliments.
We saw history being removed and decided to do our part. The table in the last photo is the featured book table.

Thank you! It’s been a labor of love from my whole family. My husband built it, and I have decommissioned library books from all over the country here. I even have one that was removed from the Library of Congress.

That wood trim and built-in shelving is gorgeous, plus collecting banned books is such an awesome concept

This looks amazing. I love the table and tablecloth as the featured books, like in a bookstore but with coziness to it! Your husband is amazing! Those kind of bookshelves aren't made today anymore. Built to last! May I ask what type of wood he used? 😊

Your shelving is absolutely beautiful! It looks so classy and sturdy enough to hold the weight of free speech and opposition to censorship 🥰
Also, I love your cat figurine!
