9.23.2018\u00a0\u00a0 Banning books silences stories<\/h1>\n

Banned Books Week 2018 is September 23\u201329<\/h1>\n

Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read.<\/span> Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores, and libraries. Typically held during the last week of September, it highlights the value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community\u2014librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types\u2014in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.<\/p>\n

By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship. The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) compiles lists of challenged books as reported in the media and submitted by librarians and teachers across the country.<\/p>\n

To view the list of the Top Ten Challenged Books of 2017, and to learn about Banned Books Week events in Texas, read on. >>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
