Banned Books Drawing Winners

Congratulations to the winners of our Banned Books Week Drawing!

John Belisle received War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, which was challenged for the brutal nature of the events in the narrative.

Xou (Sue) Yang received The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which was challenged because of language and sexual references.

Scott Schult received To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, which contains racial slurs and profanity and has been frequently challenged.

Challenges are an attempt to remove material from a library, thereby restricting the access of others. Celebrate your freedom to read!
