Attention, Students of Republic High School in Missouri!

Want to read Slaughterhouse Five?

Need a copy, since it's currently banned at your school?

The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library wants to help you out:

The KVML will be giving away free copies of Slaughterhouse Five to students from Republic, Missouri’s high school (yes, the school that banned Slaughterhouse Five last week from their curriculum and school library). If you are a student at Republic High School, please e-mail us at info AT vonnegutlibrary DOT org to request your free copy of the book. Please provide us with your name, address, and grade level. We have up to 150 books to share, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. We think it’s important for everyone to have their First Amendment rights. We’re not telling you to like the book… we just want you to read it and decide for yourself. We will not share your request or any of your personal information with anyone else.

To everyone else: If you're interested in donating to the cause, click on through for more info.

(Thanks to Kurt H. for the tip!)
