How have you been celebrating Banned Book Week? From September 26, 2021, to October 2, 2021, Banned Book Week investigates current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. This is a week where book lovers everywhere join together to celebrate freedom of ideas, freedom of expression, and our freedom to seek information.

There are only a few more days to celebrate Banned Book Week 2021. This year's theme from the American Library Association is "Books Unite Us. Censorship Divides Us." Learn more about the history of brave librarians who helmed the cause here and find out what the most challenged books of 2020 were here. And don't forget to visit the library to pick up a banned book to read!
