For the second year in a row, Curious Iguana in Frederick, Md., is partnering with the 1st Amendment Society to hide 60 banned and challenged books around downtown Frederick between September 15 and September 30.
During the Banned Book Search, books will be stashed in local businesses and in public spaces, and Curious Iguana will share clues on their social media accounts. Book hunters can keep any books that they find and are encouraged to share a photo of the book with the hashtag "#fREADomfrederick."
On September 30, Curious Iguana will co-host the Cheers to Freadom event at Flying Dog Brewery. The event will be free for anyone 21 and older and feature banned books trivia, prize drawings, and a visit from author John Schlimm (Moonshine: A Celebration of America's Original Rebel Spirit). And anyone who found a banned book during the Banned Book Search and attends the event will be entered to win prizes from Flying Dog Brewery, McClintock Distillery and Curious Iguana.
