Banned Books Reading Challenge

Books bans are on the rise all over the country. According to the American Library Association, book bans nearly doubled between 2021 and 2022. Members of Grandparents For Truth and their friends are invited to participate in this year's Banned Books Week by entering our Banned Books Reading Challenge!

About the Banned Book Reading Challenge

In this challenge, every book you read (to a grandchild or on your own) gives you one “point,” and points can be traded in for free Grandparents For Truth swag! Supplies are limited so make sure to read early and often!

How You Can Join the Challenge
