Celebrate Banned Books Week, October 1-7, 2023

Let Freedom Read is the theme this year for Banned Books Week, October 1 - 7.

Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. It was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries. Banned Books Week highlights the value of free and open access to information and brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and express ideas.

Stop in the library this week and check-out our Banned Books Week table display with banned/challenged books and check-out one.
