Gaston Library discussion

Hello!

If you are stuck in a reading rut, and are looking to step outside your comfort zone, then we have a great new discussion thread for you! Each month we will start posting Reading Challenges to inspire you to expand your reading repertoire.

Our first Reading Challenge is in honor of Banned Books week, September 27 - October 3rd. Banned Books Week was created in the 1980's as a response to a wave of challenges to books in schools, bookstores, and libraries. Gaston County Public Library invites you to celebrate the freedom of reading with us!

If you are unsure which Banned Book to start with, check out our Banned Book bookshelf! We have a wide range from classics like The Catcher in the Rye to contemporary young adult reads like The Perks of Being a Wallflower.


Feel free to post your progress and comments here.

Happy Reading!

One of my favorite books from high school was The Scarlet Letter. I loved that Hawthorne chose a strong female as his main character. Where the Wild Things Are was one of my favorite books growing up. What an awesome story to encourage creativity and imagination.
