Censorship Trivia: Can You Beat the Librarians?

Think you know more about censorship than a group of librarians? Join the Dover Public Library on Wednesday, September 27 at 7 PM for a Censorship Trivia where groups will compete against Dover Public librarians for the top prize.

Emceed by Tish Sims, the game will feature censorship questions focused not only on books, but television, music and other areas of popular culture. The trivia is geared towards ages 16 and older with teams being made up to six people. It will last approximately an hour and a half, and prizes will be awarded for first, second and third places.

The American Library Association proudly sponsors “Banned Books Week” annually during the last week of September, celebrating the freedom to read, and the value of free and open access to information. Some of the most frequently challenged books in the U.S. include John Green’s “Looking for Alaska”, E.L. James’s  “Fifty Shades of Grey” and “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” by Mark Haddon. This year Banned Books Week takes place from Sunday, September 24 to Saturday, September 30.
