Guys!

This week is Banned Books Week — celebrate the freedom to read by going to your local library or bookstore and reading something.

Most books that get banned or challenged are books that contain some sort of complicated topic that some people may find difficult to discuss.  Try also celebrating this week by having a thoughtful discussion about a tough topic with someone.

And happy reading!
