Celebrate YOUR freedom to read during Banned Books Week, September 24−October 1, 2011You can check out books from our cart of banned and challenged books in the Walker library atrium.
Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States.
The American Library Association has compiled information about some of the most challenged books from last year.
