Books Unbanned: Banned Books Escape Room

Take part in an interactive and collaborative puzzle solving experience by entering the library’s (pretend) Restricted Section. With the help of your team, solve the clues that will lead you on a tour of censorship, the freedom to read, and banned books. Uncover the “restricted” books and unlock the final freedom to read treasure. Five sessions will be available: Friday. 4/3 at 3 PM and 4 PM; Saturday 4/4 at 11 AM, 12 PM, and 1 PM. Each session accommodates teams of up to 4 participants. This program is one session in a spring season of library advocacy with our 5-week Books Unbanned program series. We will explore the topics of censorship and the reasons behind book challenges, library advocacy, and a variety of the most commonly banned and challenged books. Due to the sensitive nature of some of this content, this program is recommended for teens and young adults, 13 - 21. Parents/guardians are welcome but not required. Register now and come get your Books Unbanned kit, which includes: Your own copy of Ban This Book, a banned book of your choice, Books Unbanned swag, and a Books Unbanned tote bag!
