Banned Books Week 2024!
September 22 @ 10:00 am – September 28 @ 6:00 pm
This is one of our favorite weeks at Main Street Reads each year: Banned Books Week. We join bookstores and libraries across the nation to highlight books (often amazing, insightful and useful books) that are being banned or challenged in schools and libraries.
At the store, we feature over 100 banned books titles each year, including the most recent challenged books. Enjoy the crime scene caution tape and ask your book adventure guides at the store why a book has been banned or challenged – the answers may surprise you!
Grab any banned book and get 10% off. Ditto our online Bookshop at https://bookshop.org/shop/mainstreetreads – where you can celebrate Banned Books Week (Sept. 22—28) by exploring some of the most challenged books in the U.S., from The Bluest Eye to Maus.
