Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Teens can handle a book. They are handling considerably worse on a phone in the hallway, and the novel that gets pulled is almost always the one where somebody like them finally shows up on the page, which the high school librarian in the tee has watched happen three times this year. Protecting a sixteen-year-old from a paragraph is a smaller world. This tee trusts the reader.

Wear it to the high school library, the school board book challenge hearing, the teen book club, the bookstore, and the family dinner where a relative says they are too young. It is a strong gift for a high school librarian, an English teacher, a parent of a teenager, and the teenager who read it anyway.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a high school library. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the teen shelf entry on our book bans and libraries page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Measurements for every size are on the size and fit guide.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
