Let Freedom Read!
Banned Books Week (October 1-7) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Launched in 1982 in response to a surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries, this celebration highlights the value of free and open access to information.

- View our dedicated Online Book Display
- Check out a challenged or banned book from our Blind Date with a Banned Book display on our first floor
- Stop by the Virtual Learning Center to experience Dagon: VR (an H.P. Lovecraft adaptation)
- Visit our table at Market Day (Wednesday, October 4) to make a button in support of the freedom to read
