Banned Books Week: Sept 26 - Oct 2

Books Unite Us. Censorship Divides Us
Learn more about banned books week at https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks​.
Launched in 1982, Banned Books Week celebrates the value of free, open access to information.  Librarians, booksellers, teachers, journalists and others in the book community celebrate the freedom to express ideas, including those  which some consider unpopular or unorthodox. “Challenged” books are those which people have requested be removed from libraries, bookstores, and publishers. “Banned” books have been removed from shelves and stores.

Many books have been “banned” and “challenged” over the years. George by Alex Gino (LGBTQ/religion), Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds (Racism), and All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely (Profanity, drug use, and alcoholism and because it was thought to promote antipolice views, contain other divisive topics) were the top three “challenged” books of 2020.
Stop by to check out the banned books we have at the Gillett Public Library, including . . .

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

The first book for our new Mystery Book Club will be Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Ten people are invited to an isolated mansion on Indian Island by a host who fails to appear. On the island, they are cut off from everything but each other and the inescapable shadows of their own past lives. One by one, the guests share the darkest secrets of their wicked pasts. As the guests begin to die, one question remains: Which among them is the killer and will any of them survive?

Books will be available at the end of May/ first week of June and the club will meet in the beginning of July. We will post when the physical copies and audiobooks are available in the library, as well as the first meeting date. This title is available digitally using Overdrive. If you are uncertain how to access these digital libraries, we can help!

Please comment on Facebook what book you would like to see for August. This way, book club members can pick up the August book at our new meeting!
