The 2024/25 CSUSM Common Read is an opportunity for all students to build community through reading banned and challenged books. This year, we've selected books that center African American, Latinx, Asian American, American Indian, LGBTQ and other characters, or challenge status quo. These books have traditionally been targeted for removal from school and public libraries alike.
