Banned books week is almost here! Pick up a Bingo-style card in which each square is a different activity to learn about and read books that have been banned or censored in schools and libraries around the country. Read a book that’s been banned, visit displays at your local branch, or attend a program about banned books... it all counts! When you get five in a row you can redeem your bingo card for a cool, custom sticker. Pick up a Bingo card at any JCLS library branch during open hours. Cards and prizes available while supplies last.
