Banned Books Week is an annual event created in 1982 to celebrate the freedom to read. This event brings together members from the entire book community -- librarians, booksellers, publishers, and teachers -- to talk about censorship and how damaging this can be for a community.
The celebration has already begun at the Sullivan Family Library with a banned books display, fun banned books themed game, and our own selfie station.
The list of the most challenged books include many classic novels and popular books including The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood and the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. Learn more about Banned Books at https://bannedbooksweek.org/ and show your support for the freedom to read by taking a picture at our selfie station and posting it on social media using the hashtag #bannedbooksweek.
