Banned Books Week 2019 will be held September 22nd – 28th, 2019. The theme of this year’s event proclaims “Censorship Leaves Us in the Dark,” urging everyone to “Keep the Light On.”
Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. The celebration was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries.
Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.
