“The Banned Wagon Coming to DC: Free Banned Books for the Community”

From an email:

“WHAT: The Banned Wagon provides hundreds of free copies of banned or challenged books to community members on their tour. Guests will be able to select one book for free (while supplies last). In addition to the free copies of those books, attendees will be able to take further action by sending a note to local representatives through Penguin Random House’s partnership with EveryLibrary.

WHO: Powered by Penguin Random House, in partnership with EveryLibrary and First Book
