-Participants create a project for Banned Books Week.

-Projects can be multimedia (i.e. a poster, a short podcast, a sculpture, a video, etc. with the theme of Banned Books Week)

-Projects are due at the end of Banned Books Week on Saturday, September 28 (11:59pm)

-Email submissions to: ala-students@stkate.edu
