Lists of Books in Rapid City Area School Libraries

 Are we book banners? Many social media accounts, organizations, and individuals would label us that way. Books contain ideas, and a society that bans ideas is well on its way to the totalitarianism Moms for Liberty is trying to avoid. However, we believe that selecting appropriate content based on age and setting is not the same as book banning. It is our responsibility as teachers, librarians, administrators, and parents.

In addition, we believe that the lines between teaching and parenting have been blurred, to the detriment of our children and families. There are controversial issues, such as transgender ideology, racism, and homosexual marriage that are best dealt with in the home. Each parent knows their family's value system and what their individual child can handle.

Scroll down and find your child's school to see what books have been allowed into the library. Follow the links for a summary and excerpts of the book, or for a youtube link where the book is read aloud, so you can make up your own mind. If you have questions, you notice an error on this page, or you know of additional concerning books, feel free to email [email protected].
