What happens when we ban books? We risk losing the voices that push us to think differently, question the norm, and see the world through another lens. Over the last several years, censorship and material removal requests have dramatically increased. Here at SJCPL we’re committed to keeping our shelves open to all perspectives. Whether they comfort or challenge us. As part of Banned Books Week, all of our library branches will feature special book displays showcasing viewpoints on both sides of important and often controversial topics. 📚✨ Break out of the echo chambers and read something you don’t agree with. Democracy thrives when we engage with diverse perspectives, not when we silence them. Stop by your nearest branch to check out a book from the display, or read more and see the full list of books by topic through the link down below: https://ow.ly/GgRl50TvIwB
