Banned Books Week is here! 📚
Celebrate the freedom to read with us during Banned Books Week, October 4–10.
Stop by the library to check out our Banned Books Week display, explore books that have been challenged or banned, and get “caught reading a banned book” at our mugshot-style photo wall.
Reading gives us the opportunity to encounter new ideas, different perspectives, and stories beyond our own experiences. Let books be read.
