Celebrating the freedom to read is observed during the last week of September each year. This year is the 27th anniversary of Banned Books Week. Since 1987, this annual ALA event reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted. It celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular. It stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. Intellectual freedom can exist only where these two essential conditions are met.
Banned Books Week is September 27-October 4. Go to the ALA website for more information and promotional items available.
