Book of the Month

Oct. 1-7, 2023
National Banned Book Week In honor of this for the month of October the library will be displaying some of the most challenged books since 2010 as our feature titles for the Book of the Month. "Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to read and spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. For more than 40 years, the annual event has brought together the entire book community — librarians, teachers, booksellers, publishers, writers, journalists, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. The books featured during Banned Books Week have all been targeted for removal or restriction in libraries and schools. By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship." ~American Library Association Earn extra credit in your classes from reading.
