Banned Books Week is the only national celebration of the freedom to read. It was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries. This year, Banned Books Week is celebrated from September 26 to October 3. 2009 marks the 28th anniversary of Banned Books Week. More than a thousand books have been challenged since Banned Books Week began. The challenges have occurred in every state and in hundreds of communities. Hundreds of libraries and bookstores around the country draw attention to the problem of censorship by mounting displays of challenged books and hosting a variety of events. The easiest way is to visit a participating library or bookstore. Check for special events around your community during Banned Books Week. Come join the fight and celebrate your freedom to read.
