Spotlighting Banned & Challenged Books for Young Readers (or the Young at Heart)
April is a month for growth, curiosity, and asking questions, and there’s no better way to do that than through books that challenge the world around us. This month, we’re spotlighting banned and challenged books for young readers (and the young at heart), stories that have sparked conversation, pushed boundaries, and, in some cases, faced censorship for doing exactly what literature is meant to do: tell the truth!!
