The guide is intended to inform you about Banned Books Week.

 

Banned Books Week 2023

 

Banned Books Week 2023 is October 1-7. It brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.  A large part of this event is the review and discussion around titles that have been challenged in the last year.  Click on image to enlarge it.
