McSpacey Investigates: The Case of the Banned Books Bandits

Banned Books Week is here, and SUNY JCC has been doing all sorts of activities to celebrate, from putting up special displays to holding a Read Out in the library. But JCC wanted to do something a bit different this year that still managed to capture the spirit of Banned Books Week and how ludicrous it is that some of these books are repeatedly banned or challenged. They also wanted something that would translate well to social media, and that they could easily promote on their Facebook and Twitter pages.

Enter McSpacey, a private investigator with a hit TV show who’s come to JCC to find out who’s promoting these dangerous books to our kids, and what can be done to stop them. It’s a startling investigation that examines the students who read these books and the librarians who enable them. And it’s all happening right under our noses.
