Past Events:
Banned Books Week 2009
September 27 - October 3
Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to learn and express one’s opinion without censorship. The RI ACLU commemorated Banned Books week with a poster (shown left) sent to libraries across Rhode Island for use in public education about First Amendment rights.
You might be shocked at the literature that has come under censorship; The Sun Also Rises, The Kite Runner, and Gone with the Wind have all been challenged or banned at some point. Learn more about Banned Books Week at the American Library Association's website.
Celebrate your freedom to read by checking out a book at your local library.
