Across the nation, in recent years, there’s been a massive wave of books being banned and censored from reading lists, schools and public libraries.

And in response to those restrictions, Little Shop of Stories, a Decatur-based bookstore, recently launched the Banned Books Book Club.

Justin Colussy-Estes, who manages the bookstore, was a guest on Tuesday’s edition of “Closer Look.”
