Banned Books Week 2010
September 25 - October 2

Banned Books Week 2010Celebrate Your Freedom to Read! Banned Books Week 2010  is the twenty-ninth annual celebration of the freedom to read. This freedom, not only to choose what we read, but also
to select from a full array of possibilities, is firmly rooted in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Although we enjoy an increasing quantity and availability of information and reading material, we must remain vigilant to ensure that access to this material is preserved; would-be censors who continue to threaten the freedom to read come from all quarters and all political persuasions. Even if well intentioned, censors try to limit the freedom of others to choose what they read, see, or hear. Don't miss our banned book display in the lobby, up until October 2nd!

Sponsored by: American Booksellers Association, American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, American Library Association, American Society of Journalists and Authors, Association of American Publishers, and National Association of College Stores. Endorsed by: Center for the Book in the Library of Congress.
