Gingrich Library: Your Success Is Why We're Here!
Banned Books Week is an annual event created by the American Library Association (ALA) to bring awareness to book banning and censorship. Over the years, thousands of books, ranging from classics to children's books, have been challenged and/or banned due to a variety of content that is deemed harmful by a person or organization. The purpose of this annual event is to celebrate the right to intellectual freedom and raise national awareness of censorship. Gingrich Library will be observing Banned Books Week with a read aloud on Thursday, October 9 at 1 pm outside of Masters Hall. Participants will choose a banned or challenged book and explain the reasons for the challenge before reading a section of their choice. We will have books available for anyone who wants to join! Stop by Masters Hall on Thursday to listen to some readings from diverse literature!
