BBW23: Read a Banned Book

Posted on by

Celebrate Banned Books Week by reading a book “they” don’t want you to read! You can find the books from last year’s Top Most Challenged Books List (https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10) in the Teaching Materials Center (TMC) and the Library’s Main collection. The top most challenged book, Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe is available in the Graphic Novels section of the TMC. Stop by to take a look, and use the Collection Discovery (https://tiny.cc/BannedBooksML) feature to find even more banned and challenged titles.
