Philly families, mark your calendars - the Banned Book Wagon Tour is rolling into Philadelphia this fall! 🚐📚
Created by bestselling author Jodi Picoult, this traveling pop-up library is all about celebrating the freedom to read. The wagon carries hundreds of books that have been challenged or banned across the country, giving families the chance to explore important stories together.
The tour will stop in Philadelphia on October 10th and October 11th, offering free events, readings, and opportunities to connect with authors and educators. It’s a great chance to talk with your kids about why books matter, encourage reading, and support diverse voices.
