Banned Books Week is a national celebration of our freedom to think, write, and read about all ideas, no matter how unpopular or unorthodox they may be. Visit the library this week to see displays about censorship, grab a bookmark or pin, show what recently-challenged books YOU have read, or check out a book that somebody didn't want you to be able to read. Enter to win a Kindle or gift card!
This year we're doing a special highlight of the Harry Potter books, which have been subject to protests for 20 years now. Find out how and why Harry Potter became the most-challenged book in American history!
Check out the infographics below to learn about what books have been challenged recently, and why some people try to ban books.
