"People are always surprised to find out just what classic and non-classic books have made the challenged and banned lists over the years," Burns said. "This event is a fun way to highlight those works and remind everyone of the importance of our individual right to choose what we read."
The Banned Book Event will focus on the value of free and open access to information and include a trivia game complete with prizes. This event is free and open to the public.
Participants will be divided into groups of four and compete in three rounds of trivia with questions about banned or challenged books, censorship and movies based on banned or challenged books.
