We invite you to join us on the Stoneham Public Library lawn for a powerful act of solidarity. Bring a banned or challenged book, along with a comfy blanket or lawn chair, and spend some time reading together in good company.
Don’t have a banned or challenged book in hand yet? Check out the National Coalition Against Censorship’s RighttoRead recommendation and dive into “Chains” by Laurie Halse Anderson.
📚Visit our table to learn more about recently challenged books, and join us in protecting the right for all stories to be told. Plus, enter our raffle for your chance to win a set of banned books!📚
