Banned Books Week began in 1982 when libraries notices that many books were being challenged and/or removed from libraries, schools, and bookstore. Since 1982, libraries and other organizations have taken an active role in making sure the public is aware of the books that are being challenged and to make sure that everyone has the " FREEDOM TO READ".
This year's theme for Banned Books Week is:
Censorship of a Dead End. Find your Freedom to Read!
The library has a display on Banned Books Week with some information about the most challenged books of 2019 and some of the books that have been challenged. The library also has a small display of books (that can be checked out) of books that have been challenged throughout the years.
