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.
February 23 to March 1, 2025, is Freedom to Read Week in Canada
From freedomtoread.ca: “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. Whether you are a librarian, bookseller, educator, student, or member of the community, there are lots of ways you can help mark this annual event.”
Visit your school library in person, or online here at tweedsmuirlibrary.ca, all week long to find out more about Freedom to Read in Canada, how you can celebrate, and how you can join in the ongoing struggle to protect your rights and freedoms.
