Fight against book bans in the US – level 1
17-04-2024 07:00
Books Unbanned is an idea which starts in the Brooklyn Public Library. It helps children read books online.
In some US states, it is not possible to read some books. They are banned. But libraries let children younger than 18 years read these books online. Four libraries do it now. In some areas, children cannot go to a nearby library. It is good that they can read the books online.
Libraries ask children and young people why they want to read online. They get many interesting answers. Now they know how children feel if they cannot borrow some books.
Difficult words: library (a place where people borrow books and magazines), ban (to officially stop), online (on the internet).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What are some reasons why children and young people may want to read banned books online from libraries?
