Description

Did you know Charlotte’s Web was once challenged for its talking animals? Or that Where’s Waldo? was banned because of a single background image?

In this episode of Library-ish, Traci and January dive into thesurprising history of banned books. We share unusual stories behind some of the most unexpected titles, explain why challenges happen, and highlight how libraries safeguard intellectual freedom for everyone.

Join us as we take the mystery out of banned books and explore why access to stories—no matter how unusual the challenge—matters to every community.


The Library-ish Podcast delves into libraries & librarianship within the context of culture and community.
