Read a Banned Book!
The Bible, Catch-22, The Color Purple, Lolita: What do these books have in common? At one time or another, they have all been banned.
Celebrate your freedom to read during Banned Books Week (Sept. 29-Oct. 6) by joining a public reading from banned books, sponsored by the Libraries. Bring your own favorite banned book, or read from one of ours.
