Promote Literacy: Celebrate Your Freedom of Expression

Banned Books Week is September 23 – September 30

Can you imagine not being allowed to get The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the library just because of the
opinions and voices of a few people who want to abridge your freedom of speech? Most people would not begin
believe the number of important books contested for their content over the years. Celebrate your freedom to read this
week with a banned book.
