The 2016 Banned Books Week celebration is being held September 25th - October 1st. Which means it is currently Banned Books Week! Taken from the Banned Books Week website:
"The Banned Books Week Coalition is a national alliance of diverse organizations joined by a commitment to increase awareness of the annual celebration of the freedom to read. The Coalition seeks to engage various communities and inspire participation in Banned Books Week through education, advocacy, and the creation of programming about the problem of book censorship" (bannedbooksweek.org).
Check out some of the most frequently banned books here, including last year's top ten. How many have you read?
For more inspiration to exercise your right to read, here's a great video produced by Bookmans staff members and customers!
