What is Banned Books Week?
"Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. It 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."

How do we participate?
Here in Bozeman, we have a banned books celebration put together by a committee of book professionals. In years past we have held events like banned book excerpts read by notable figures in the community, trivia events at local breweries, and more!
