About this Event

In a time of intense political polarization, library staff in every state are facing an unprecedented number of attempts to ban books. In 2022, 48% of book challenges targeted materials in public libraries.

Stop by this table event to learn more about censorship attempts in public libraries.

This event is part of our Banned Books Week programming, where we celebrate our freedom to read and highlight the harms of censorship. Join us for our main event, the Banned Books Read-Out, on Wednesday, October 4.
