Banning Books Silences Stories
Banned Books Week: September 22-28, 2019
Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. 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. This annual event highlights the value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week 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.
Banned Books Week 2018 will be held September 22 - 28. The 2019 theme, “Censorship leaves us in the dark; Keep the light on,” is a reminder that everyone needs to speak out against the tide of censorship.
