It's officially Banned Books Week! This special week is an annual event that celebrate the freedom to seek out, read, and express ideas.
Every year Banned Books Week draws 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.
Explore the Forhring Library collection to find banned and challenged books. You can contribute to the collection by suggesting the purchase of banned books that we sill don't have on the shelves. Help us make our library more inclusive!
