Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. It unites librarians, educators, readers, booksellers, publishers, and journalists with their shared support of the freedom to seek, publish, read, and express ideas, even those that are unpopular or unorthodox.
Banned Books Week is September 22-28, 2024. Stay tuned for library programming to celebrate!

You do not have to be a student, educator, or librarian to report censorship -- anyone can do it!
