Now in its second year, The New York Public Library's National Teen Banned Book Club shines a spotlight on YA books that have been banned or challenged, and invites teens across the country to read together. Each title comes with free downloadable discussion materials and access to YA authors for schools, libraries, and community book groups so we can have positive and meaningful conversations about young adult literature, identity, censorship, and more. Learn more.
This year's Teen Banned Book Club focuses on graphic novels. Each book club culminates in an online author talk made available to watch anytime
The latest selection is The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen. Join Williams and Schneemann, The New York Public Library, and teens across the country for a special virtual presentation on Tuesday, June 3, at 3:00 PM ET. You can use this LINK to register for the talk!
This information has been taken directly from (Teen Banned Book Club at NYPL | the New York Public Library, n.d.).
Choose a book that fits the monthly challenge. If you’re stuck, consider visiting (or calling) the Wareham Free Library for recommendations!
Each month, after you read, fill out this form to report your book (massbook.org/readingchallenge).
Using the submission manager, you will be able to log in and access the entries you’ve logged throughout the year.
Dedicated readers will be invited to a year-end celebration hosted by Mass Center for the Book.
MA Ctr 4 the Book will be drawing two names on the last day of each month to win a free book! Make sure you get those entries in before the end of the month.
If you read a book in each of the 12 months, you will be entered in a drawing to win 1 of 2 totes filled with books.
This is a FUN challenge and anyone can participate! We'd LOVE to hear your feedback and recommendations if you would like to "sound off" about any of your choices.

This wickedly fun activity doesn't require any ONE person to be responsible and the results are hilarious - similar to a MadLibs game!
