Brooklyn Public Library has launched a new campaign called Books UnBanned to help teens combat the effects of increased literary censorship in public schools and libraries. For a limited time, young adults ages 13 to 21 nationwide will be able to apply for a free one-year e-card from BPL, providing access to the library's entire collection of 350,000 ebooks.
