Banned Book Week - Celebrating the Freedom to Read

This week is Banned Book Week.  The folks at the American Library Association say "Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment.  Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States."

Heard on over to the American Library Association's website (http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/banned/bannedbooksweek/index.cfm) to find all sorts of resources, ideas and events for taking part in this week's celebration of our freedom to read.

If this is a passion of yours, consider joining the Freedom to Read Foundation.

Banned Books Week is sponsored by the American Booksellers Association; American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression; the American Library Association; American Society of Journalists and Authors; Association of American Publishers; and the National Association of College Stores.  It is endorsed by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. 

Enjoy your freedom to read!!
