Banned books week 2016

Its that time of year again to celebrate our freedom to read. This year instead of just displaying the books I wanted to make the display interactive.

 Poster and bookmarks are from ALA. Lists are from their website found here.


 First I took 6 books that are on the banned/challenged books lists and randomly copied 6-8 pages front and back, plus the cover. I then took these copies and cut them up and shredded them (individually so I could keep the books separate). I then gathered the shredded papers and stuffed them into a jar. We are having a contest to see if patrons can name the books in the jars.

Reference book, so titles can be looked up.

Stickers in the books are left over from summer reading last year.

Lists from years past contain the top 10 banned books for each year. (We posted 10 years).
