Celebrating Banned Books Week
Join the entire book community and celebrate the freedom to read during Banned Books Week. During September 22-28, 2019, members of the book community will unite to highlight the value of free and open access to information. The movement was originally sparked by a surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, libraries, and bookstores during the early 1980s.
