The Banned Wagon Comes to Zionsville

This Banned Books Week (September 22-28) the Banned Wagon is hitting the road for its second-annual tour stopping at nine libraries and bookstores in communities across the Midwest and the South being impacted by book banning and censorship. 

The Banned Wagon will feature a selection of 20 books that are currently being banned across the country and will distribute FREE copies to event attendees in each city. 

Within its nine-city tour stops will include 4 Kids Books & Toys in Zionsville Indiana who will also be offering the community: 

• Face painting balloon artists and both a shaved ice and popcorn truck
• A craft station inside the bookstore will be set up for attendees to create bookmarks along with a SAVE OUR STORIES bookmark contest for Banned Books Week – the winning design will receive a gift card to the bookstore

The Banned Wagon provides hundreds of free copies of banned or challenged books to community members on their tour across the Midwest and South. Guests will be able to select one book for free (while supplies last) and are then invited to browse a larger selection within the bookstore or library. In addition to the free copies of those books, helpful information that will help people fight censorship in their communities will be given.
