The Banned Books Week

Banned Books Week is an annual awareness event that highlights the issue of censorship and promotes the freedom to read. It draws attention to books that have been challenged or removed from libraries, schools, or bookstores due to objections over content, ideas, or themes. The goal is to foster open access to diverse perspectives and to defend intellectual freedom. By celebrating the importance of reading and opposing censorship, Banned Books Week encourages individuals to explore regardless of controversial topics and underscores the importance of free expression in a democratic society.
