Be sure to visit your School Library as we focus on our “Freedom to Read.” One of the most important weeks of the year, Freedom to Read Week, takes place Feb 22-28.
Join with us as we use this week to
- Learn more about our Rights and Freedoms, including our rights to information, inquiry, and expression.
- Learn about the forces at work to erode and deny our rights and freedoms, including censorship and attempts to restrict or ban books and other media.
- Celebrate the week by exercising our freedom to read the materials that we choose freely.
From freedomtoread.ca:
Freedom to Read Week is an annual event that encourages Canadians to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom.
Freedom to Read Week provides an opportunity for Canadians to focus on issues of intellectual freedom as they affect your community, your province or territory, our country, and countries around the world.
