We are celebrating our freedom to read with Banned Books Trivia in the store on Friday, October 6!
Grab a group of free-minded souls to test your knowledge of history, culture, and censorship as it pertains to banned and challenged books. Teams will spread out throughout the store and take part in 5 rounds of cut-throat (not really) trivia. Even if you think you know nothing about banned books, you will surprise yourself — and you just may win a prize!
“Every burned book enlightens the world!”
Instead of an entry fee, we are asking teams to bring a challenged or banned book (gently used or purchased brand new from our store) to donate to our Hygge House Book Nooks in the city of Worcester.
In celebration of Banned Books Week, we feature a first ever and yet already world famous BANNED BOOKS TRIVIA! Come to the Friends Auditorium to compete (and learn!) with your friends, family members, neighbors, random people you meet on the street, to earn the shining glory of WINNER OF BANNED BOOKS TRIVIA! The renown is endless, and the prizes are the friends we make along the way.
Compete by yourself or as a group, and learn about how literature is challenged on a daily basis!
No Registration is Required.
