This event is over.

Event Details:

Join Lane Library during Banned Books Week (October 1-7) to participate in banned book-themed activities! Banned Book Week activities include:

  • Guess the Book: We’ll give you a clue and you have to guess the associated banned book.
  • Have You Read These Books?: We’ll have a poster with the most challenged books from the last decade; put a little mark next to the books you’ve read. We will have our banned book collection on display in the Duck Room. Check it out and bring one home to read!
  • To Ban or Not to Ban Jar: We’ll have a jar with marbles, answer anonymously with a marble in a cup marked yes or no. Check in next week to see the results!
  • Banned Book Questions: By the Duck Room, we’ll have a whiteboard with a series of questions relating to banned books. Share your response(s) on a sticky note. We’ll gather the responses and share them the week after!
  • Puzzle Time!: We’ll have a 500-piece banned book puzzle for you to put together.

Can’t make it to the library? We will also have virtual activities! Check our Banned Books Week guide, and keep an eye on our social media pages for images and recaps.
