Banned...WHY?

Have you ever wondered why some books are banned or challenged? Explore books that have sparked controversy throughout history.

Join us to learn about the history of banned books and why it's important to protect the right to read. Explore, ask questions, and think about why we should celebrate the freedom to read all kinds of stories. As you walk through our exhibit you can discover the reasons behind book bans.
