Protect the First Amendment - Read Banned Books!
|
Are older people often telling you how different today is from when they were younger? That's because today's kids and teens are part of the first generation to grown up never knowing a day without the internet or cell phones, where connecting with the world and information is possible with just one click.
One thing that is
not different is that stories have been banned since, well, forever. Now that it is easier to connect with others, it is more important than ever that we make our voices heard; that, as Americans and book lovers, we practice the First Amendment every day by reading and speaking out about the books that others would try to silence.

All month long at Eagle Harbor Books you can go on a "blind date" with a banned book. That's where you purchase a book without knowing the title. All you're given is a reason the book was banned and the age appropriate reading level of the book. You pay the retail price and get ready to read a new book that may be out of your comfort zone - and, at some point, challenged or banned!
Stop by throughout the month of September! You never know what banned book is in store for you.
