The Bookshelf Initiative

Nominate a High School Librarian

Every banned book. One shelf. One winner.

We read the books they ban. Then we give the whole shelf away.

Banned Camp Bookshelf Initiative

We're Jennifer and Dan, the hosts of Banned Camp. Every episode, we read a banned or challenged book out loud, chapter by chapter, without reading ahead. We're in our 11th season now, which means there are eleven banned books on our shelf and counting.

We're launching something new: the Bookshelf Initiative. Every quarter, we're donating a full set of every banned book we've ever covered on the show, the whole growing shelf, not just whatever we're reading right now, to one nominated high school librarian.

Know a high school librarian who's dealt with a book challenge, or who's just quietly doing great work while people try to make their job harder? Nominate them below. It takes about a minute.

How it works
Nominations open now, close September 21.
We pick a winner September 22–28.
Winner announced in a special episode during Banned Books Week, October 4–10 — books ship that same week.
