Banned Books Week

Banned Books Week was first celebrated 31 years ago in 1982.  This week celebrates our freedom to read.  Throughout history, many books have been challenged by readers and banned in certain locations.  Even award-winning books have been banned because of their content.  Stop by the Reference Room to see some of our banned books.  Celebrate your freedom to read by checking out a frequently banned book!
