Read banned books

Why read a banned book? Books expose us to new perspectives and ideas and educate readers on diverse topics, experiences, and cultures. Banning a book is a form of censorship that restricts the freedom of ideas and attempts to silence the communities reflected in their stories.  As a platform for diverse voices, Served Up has selected a few recently banned books to add to our Book Club in an effort to create awareness for these authors and their stories, with the hopes our listeners consider adding them to their reading lists.
