Banned Books Week, an annual celebration of the freedom to read, will be observed September 26 - October 3, 2009 by libraries, bookstores, schools, and others concerned with freedom of speech. The theme for this year's observance is "Speak ~ Read ~ Know. Speak your mind. Read banned books. Know the First Amendment."
Banned Books Week commemorates one of the most basic freedoms in a democratic society -- freedom from censorship. Since its inception in 1982, it has reminded us that while not every book is intended for every reader, each of us has the right to decide for ourselves.
The exhibit in Education Resources will remain in place through November 9.
