READ BANNED BOOKS

Reading is a radical act.

Literature and books have the power to shape and strengthen our thoughts and beliefs; and those in power fear an informed and literate population.

By engaging with banned books you are challenging oppressive systems and legislation attempting to censor materials that provide diverse perspectives on: race, LGBTQ+ identities, mental health, historical events, questioning authority, and social injustices.
