About this Event

Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss; Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, by Judy Blume; A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein; Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park; the Harry Potter series; the Goosebumps series; the Captain Underpants series – these are just a few of the beloved children’s and young adult titles that have faced censorship attempts over the years.

Stop by this display to learn more about banned and challenged young adult and children’s books.

This event is part of our Banned Books Week programming, where we celebrate our freedom to read and highlight the harms of censorship. Join us for our main event, the Banned Books Read-Out, on Wednesday, October 4.
