We just celebrated Banned Book Week in the EVHS library with a large display of banned classics and books challenged in the last year. And it is true what they say, "If you want a teenager to do something, tell them they aren't allowed to do it." We had great circulation and lots of interest in why was this book banned?
I talked about Banned Book Week in my freshman library orientation and the freshman class took off and ran with it! Obvoius favorites were the Bunny Suicide books and Rennison's Full Frontal Snogging, but I really enjoyed the renewed interest in reading and the busy open lunch periods with over 100 students per day.
Now to prep for our Author VIsit from California readers and get read for Teen Read Week.
