Banned Books Read Out!

Thursday, October 5, 2023 | 12:20 pm - 1:20 pm

Join us to discuss Banned Books, Moms of Liberty, censorship, and recent legislature passed to arrest librarians. We will celebrate this year's theme: Let Freedom Read!

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.
