Welcome to Litsy!

I'm honoured to be the recipient of the 2024 Cache Valley Library Association Library Hero Award, presented each January to someone who has given "notable service to libraries in Cache Valley."

I love this organisation and have so much respect for its members and the good work they do in our area. Long may it continue.

#OnThisDay in 1959 a landmark decision was made in the NY Courts that would forever alter US obscenity laws. Earlier that year Grove Press sued the Post Office for confiscating copies of Lady Chatterley's Lover. Lawyer Charles Rembar successfully argued that social and literary merits of the work superceded the sexual content. Rembar would go on to successfully argue for overturning bans in Tropic of Cancer, Fanny Hill, and more. #HistoryGetsLIT
