Banned Books Week was created in 1982 after there was a sudden rush of challenges of books in schools and libraries. It is normally the last week in September and it is meant to focus on free and open access to all information. Banned Books Week brings together readers of all types.
The Teen Room will be holding the second annual Banned Books Reading Challenge September 1-October 3. Read any banned or challenged book during this time and log it in ReadSquared to earn points. Points earned will earn you an entry to win an awesome free prize!
Not sure what books have been challenged or banned? Stop by the Teen Room to see our display of books or talk to staff for suggestions. You can also check out the reading lists in ReadSquared. The winner will be announced Monday October 4.
Happy reading and may the odds be ever in your favor!
