The Amazing Library Titles Race

Abstract
I created a scavenger hunt to augment my library workshop that requires students to unscramble a book title containing profanity, search the catalog to find its location, and retrieve it from the shelves. “The Rebellion of The Beasts: Or, the Ass is Dead! Long Live the Ass!” is a sample title. It makes retreiving books a lot more interesting and proves that libraries do not censor.
