Banned books find a home at Sun City church

In 2009, Todd H. Bol created the first Little Free Library in Hudson, Wisconsin. Now, according to littlefreelibrary.org, there are more than 200,000 registered book boxes around the world. More than 400 million books have been distributed.

Church of the Palms in Sun City, 14808 N. Boswell Blvd., hopped on the trend when it unveiled its own Little Free Library June 15.

However, this one is a little different. This box focuses on books that have been banned in some capacity in the United States. No single law prohibits these books nationwide. They are titles that have been removed from school curriculum or library shelves by local school boards or community groups. They often center around themes of race, sexuality, religion or language.
