Banned Books Week - Read On!

September 23-29 is Banned Books Week. From BannedBooksWeek.org:

Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries. Typically held during the last week of September, it highlights the value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week 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 to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.

To help celebrate our freedom of information and freedom to read, come to the library next week to see the Banned Books display and check out this video highlighting the most banned/challenged books of 2017:
