What is the Blazing Bookshelf?

The Blazing Bookshelf is a place to honor books. Books are beautiful.

The book has been burned, banned, and censored. And yet, it lives on as the most reliable way to store stories and information, and the most comforting way to spend a sunny afternoon.

Our name, The Blazing Bookshelf, is in honor of those books that have been challenged, those authors who went hungry to write their ideas, and those libraries burned as arrogant, inane, violent acts against ideas.

Nazis are not the only book burners in history, but perhaps the most notorious.

But ideas can't be killed. So join us in celebration of The Book, and its home, The Library, and its creator, Humankind.
