BANNED BOOKS WEEK
Banned Books Week is the annual celebration of our freedom to read. It takes place at the end of September, but we will be shining a light on current and historical attempts to censor books all month long!
The theme for this year is "Books Unite Us. Censorship Divides Us." Books have the ability to open doors to new perspectives, reach across boundaries, and build connections between readers. Censorship, on the other hand, merely creates barriers.
We're lucky to have a lot of freedom to read at ASP. At your library you have access to the writing of John Steinbeck, Harper Lee, Jason Reynolds, Angie Thomas, and Khaled Hosseini - all authors whose works have been challenged for a variety of reasons over the years!
What does the freedom to read mean to you? Stop by your library to check out our banned books display, share your thoughts, and maybe pick up a book people consider dangerous!
