banned books teen time


Join Brooklyn to discuss book challenges, your favorite banned books, and BPL's Books Unbanned project. Learn how you can help youth across the country protect the right to read whatever they choose. 

In this session, we will be joined by Kelly Jensen, former librarian and editor/writer at Book Riot. She has edited two anthologies for young adults: Here We Are: Feminism For The Real World and (Don't) Call Me Crazy: 33 Voices Start The Conversation About Mental Health. She also runs a popular book blog, Stacked. Kelly will talk about her anti-censorship tool kit, and share how and why teens can "show up" to defend the books that are important to them.
