Banned Books Week - September 18th - 24th
Books Unite Us. Censorship Divides Us.

Check below for just some of the titles we have available that have been or are being challenged, read the ABA's statement and petition condemning censorship of books, or visit bannedbooksweek.org for more information!

"Don't talk to strangers." Those words are ingrained in us. But we chose to talk to strangers, despite the hurdles of approaching others, because we believe personal stories have the power to connect people and inspire compassion.
We've been listening to and sharing personal stories of the people of St. Louis since we launched the project in 2014. We've tackled important issues, created a platform for dialogue and discussion, and celebrated humanity.
