Every year the American Library Association tracks hundreds of challenges brought against books throughout the year. Topics vary, but there are some topics challenged more than others. The most common books that have challenges brought against them are children’s books, for various reasons. ••••••••••••• #bannedbooks #bannedbooksweek #bookweek100 (at Half Off Books) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xDSVHp7dE/?igshid=20iazxsqo6zx

Today marks the beginning of Banned Books Week, an annual celebration to raise awareness of the intellectual importance of literature and to remind us all that people are STILL trying to ban books. At Half Off Books we are committed to sharing the importance and joys of reading with the community, so throughout the week we will be sharing information about frequently banned books and what they mean to us. Come into the store to see our decorations and what banned books we have in stock! Happy reading! 📚 (at Half Off Books) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2uZr6zpbWA/?igshid=16zi6z4vgv97k
