If you’ve ever thought, “I wish March Madness could happen in the fall, and I wish it could involve books instead of basketball”, then your dreams are about to come true! From September 29 – October 8, Lindell Library is celebrating Banned Books Week, a week to highlight challenged books and speak out against censorship, and invites you to help us celebrate. Visit Lindell Library to join in on the Banned Books Madness and vote for your favorite banned books to win special library prizes! Students, staff, and faculty are all invited to participate.
For more information about book bans in the United States, ask a librarian or visit the American Library Association’s website (ala.org/bbooks). We hope you enjoy Banned Books Madness and celebrate the right to read!
