The best way to fight book banning is to read banned books!
This October, in honor of Banned Books Week, you can download these great books, which will be available with no waits or checkout limits through October 31, on OverDrive and using the Libby app.
Banned and challenged books open your mind to new stories, perspectives, cultures, surroundings, and experiences. Perfect for inquisitive readers, they don’t shy away from the truth—in fact, they often get right to it, with humor, heart, wisdom, and suspense.
