The Authors Guild Banned Books Club is a free virtual book club on the Fable social reading app. Each month, the Banned Books Club presents a different work of fiction or nonfiction recently barred in one or more U.S. school districts or states.
Readers can log on to Fable anytime throughout the month to access the moderated book discussion as well as valuable resources to help you get the most out of your reading experience. You can also access the commentary and resources for any of the past selections.
