Banned Book Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September since 1982, Banned Books Week not only encourages readers to examine challenged literary works but also highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States.
Come and check out a book from The Collinsville Library center's banned Book display on the main floor.
