Banned Books Week 2018

Speak Out
  •  Top Banned/Challenged YA books!

    It's time to #SpeakOut and protect your rights... especially your right to READ WHAT YOU WANT!!!  There are still books getting challenged and banned in the United States today.  This is just one of the many ways that some people try to control what you think and how you act, because reading makes you think which makes you dangerous. This year #SpeakOut about something you believe in or an issue that you think needs to change. Librarians everywhere #SpeakOut against censorship in literature. #SpeakOut and don't let anyone silence your story.
