Banned Books Week is October 5-11, 2025. To raise awareness of book bans and challenges that are still happening, we will once again create a deck of cards representing book covers created by local artists (and a few not so local) that have been banned or challenged.

2024 Banned Book Trading Card decks are available for sale for $10 at the circulation desk.
We have a limited supply of 2023 card decks available for purchase as well.​
