IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING NOTE:

Season 6 of Banned Camp premieres on June 4th, and we've picked a fantastic book for this season. “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” by Benjamin Alire Sáenz.

It’s our first contemporary book. Publisher’s Weekly described it as a tender, honest exploration of identity. It explores friendship and sexuality through the experiences of two Mexican-American teenagers living in El Paso in the 1980s. Join us for season six!
