This is Banned Books Week!

Are you concerned about the increase in book bans and challenges? Do you want to read banned books? Tisch Library and the W. Van Alan Clark, Jr. Library at the SMFA have a significant number of the most banned and challenged books in our collections, from literary classics like The Bluest Eye to graphic novels like Gender Queer.  If there’s a banned book you want to read, have a look for it in JumboSearch. And if there’s a banned book that we don’t have, let us know.

Learn more about Banned Books Week and the Fiery History of Banned Books to understand why and what book banners don’t want you to read.  And then start reading!
