This year's banned books book club will be reading materials that have been historically challenged or are on the American Library Association's current challenge list. All suggestions are taken from a list compiled by current and past book club participants.

We will discuss the reasons for the item's ban or challenge and the importance of access in upholding intellectual freedom. This is a safe place for difficult discussions.
