| Summary: | In the fall of 2020, COVID-19 impacted traditional programming at
Greenwood Library, including campaigns and events for the American Library
Association’s Banned Books Week. In efforts to continue to promote the week,
programming was revamped for a mostly online environment. Programs included
online Banned Books Trivia, a Zoom interview with New York Times bestselling author,
Todd Parr, an online presentation on the censorship of comic books, and an in-person
labyrinth featuring photos of banned book covers. The purpose of this article is to
discuss the details of planning and implementing this nontraditional programming
and how this type of programming has changed how the library will plan programs in
the future. |
