Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read

Banned Books Week

Banned Books Week (September 22-28) is an annual event that celebrates the freedom to read and highlights the importance of open access to information. It brings together the entire book community — librarians, educators, authors, publishers, booksellers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with the magic of words and stories. We look forward to seeing you at the Library as we commemorate Banned Books Week and the profound impact of literacy on individuals and society as a whole.
