Banned Books Week October 5-11 at Bluffton Public Library
Banned Books Week is October 5–11. This year's theme is "Censorship is so 1984. Read for Your Rights." This year's theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us, that censorship has no place in contemporary society, and that we must defend our rights.
Books on display at our library will include materials that have been banned or challenged in libraries, booksellers, and schools across the globe. This list is compiled by the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (ala.org/bbooks).
