BANNED BOOKS WEEK INFORMATION

During the last week of September, libraries all over the country recognize Banned Books Week. This week spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books. Each year hundreds of books are banned or challenged. In the 2021-2022 school year, more than 2,500 books were banned in 140 school districts across 32 different states (PEN America, 2022).


Some parents and organizations think book banning is necessary to protect students from inappropriate content, while other parents and organizations believe that banning books silences important, diverse voices that students need to access.


Unlock examples of banned and challenged books, and celebrate your right to ____.

​(THINK YOU KNOW THE CODE?!? Sometimes people get things backwards...).


Once you've got the box unlocked, check out the Banned Books Display and add your thoughts to the "Hot Takes" bulletin board.
