Banned Books Week - October 1st - October 7th

Books Unite Us. Censorship Divides Us.

Celebrate your freedom to read next month during Banned Books Week! By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship.

Check below for just some of the titles we have available that have been or are being challenged, check out a list of banned and challenged books, or visit bannedbooksweek.org for more information!
