Freedom to Read Hoodie

Description

There is a hoodie that shouts about the freedom to read, and there is this one. "THE FREEDOM" / "TO READ" set in two lines of heavy typewriter capitals, letterspaced edge to edge and held between the thin double rules of a catalogue card, then, small and quiet underneath: "DEFENDED DAILY BY YOUR LIBRARIAN". That last line is the whole design. Without it this is a slogan; with it, the sentence acquires a person, and the person is the one wearing it. Not a placard: a professional credential, stamped once with the broken ink bite of real rubber on paper.

Soft and cozy with a hood for the first cold week of term, offered in a range of light shades.

It is the hoodie she buys herself for the first week, and wears to the board meeting. It is also the gift a colleague or a parent reaches for when the mug and the rainbow tote have not said anything at all.

Set by hand, worn on purpose.
