Stop by the Brookens Library table to learn about the various book challenges that have happened around the country this past year. We’ll be giving away buttons, stickers, and bookmarks to celebrate the freedom to read! 

Banned Books Week is an annual celebration of the freedom to read. Although book censorship has occurred since the beginning of the printed word, modern-day challenges and bans of literature and other reading materials continue to this day, especially in public schools and libraries.
