Enter the writing challenge below to win a bookish prize:

Take a look at the list of the ALA’s frequently challenged books and the list of banned or challenged classics.

Select three books that made an impression on you. Did you read them in an English class, on your own, or as an adult? Write about each book describing why it had such a lasting effect on you. What did you take away from each book? Why do you think each book was banned? How would you defend it to its critics?

Send your responses as an email to susie@fondulaclibrary.org to be entered in a prize drawing by 5:00p.m. on September 26. Also, please indicate in the email if it would be okay for us to share an excerpt of the writing in a #FDL blog post.
