#BannedBooksWeek Read banned books! They’re at the library!

[Pratt Library @prattlibrary]

The Enoch Pratt Free Library ran this ad in the Carroll County Times yesterday opposing a book ban in schools. The Pratt Library stands against censorship. Anyone in MD can get a Pratt Library card, and we carry all 10 of the most challenged books in the United States.
