Hi all,
The Digital Public Library of America sponsors the Banned Books Club. Through the Palace app (library card not needed for this function), people including teens can read thousands of challenged/banned books.
They invite librarians to submit reviews of their favorite challenged books to bring attention to titles that are lesser known than say, Beloved or All Boys Aren't Blue.
DPLA is excited to invite you to participate in our "Banned Book of the Week" social media series highlighting books under threat of censorship.
"In July 2023, the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) launched
The Banned Book Club, in
partnership with Lyrasis
and The Palace Project,
to ensure all readers have access to the books they want to read. Our #BannedBookClub social media series, which we kicked off earlier this year, shares banned titles on DPLA's Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter feeds.
Lead curator Jill Egan, Miriam Tulio, and other members of DPLA's Curation Corps have helped select previously featured titles.
Now, we're inviting you to share your favorite banned books with us, so we can share them with others!
Please fill out the form below to submit a Banned Book for DPLA and our partners to lift up in a future "Banned Book of the Week" post. DPLA and the Curation Corps will review all submissions and let you know when your selection will be shared via DPLA's social media channels.
We hope you'll reshare these posts on your own feeds, and those of your organizations, to spread even awareness about The Banned Book Club and our collective commitment to free access to all books!"
