Reference Area

Join library staff for a "Book Tasting" to sample a variety of frequently challenged and banned young adult books. This session is specifically aimed at teen readers.

What is a book tasting? It’s an event where people come and “taste” different books and genres as if they are sampling from a literary buffet. At this event, staff will guide you through a tasting menu of 9 frequently challenged young adult books.

We hope to pique your appetite for a good read with a great discussion! Come with an open mind and be ready to expand your reading palate.

Open to teens in grades 6 through 12.
