Banned Books Week

ALA Banned Books Week is October 4-10. As Canadians we stand in solidarity with libraries, librarians, and freedom loving people across the US as they stand up for their democratic rights. Censorship continues to thrive as a weapon of choice for those who seek to advance their political agendas by attacking fundamental individual rights and freedoms. Join with us as we learn more about the fight against book banning and the unending struggle for the protection of intellectual freedom.
