Celebrate Banned Books Week at the library -- now with 150% more censorship to fight!

September 22 - 28 is Banned Books Week, a yearly celebration of our freedom to read (and write, and think!) what we want, while calling attention to the harms of censorship.  And 2024 has been another record-breaking year for censorship, so there's a lot to pay attention to.  Stop by the library (either Main or Chico) to:

• Check out our displays about current book challenges, which can only feature a tiny bit of the madness that is going on out there;
• Borrow an objectionable book to read! 
• Play our "How well do you know your banned books?" game!
• Make your own mini art book featuring your favorite offensive books!
• Grab a sticker, or other swag to show off your support of the freedom to read.
• Take a look at our online guide to Banned Books Week, which features a ton of great information about censorship and why it's important to fight it.
