This week, we’re recognizing Banned Books Week and the importance of access to books and information.

Books introduce us to new ideas, experiences, cultures, and perspectives. They can challenge us, help us understand one another, and encourage us to think critically about the world around us.

Banned Books Week is an opportunity to learn more about attempts to restrict access to books and to celebrate the freedom to read.
