Banned Books Week 2024: Freed Between the Lines
Banned Books Week 2024 is here! From September 22 to September 28, let's celebrate our freedom to read and shine a light on the ongoing challenges to freedom of expression. This year’s theme, "Freed Between the Lines," reminds us of the importance of protecting access to diverse and often controversial stories—stories that help us see the world from different perspectives.
Banned Books Week is more than just a celebration—it's a reminder that censorship limits our ability to explore, learn, and grow. By reading and discussing banned books, we keep the conversation going and defend our right to seek out all kinds of ideas.
Banned Books Week is also a time to celebrate the diverse stories that make us who we are. It’s a reminder that no matter how uncomfortable or challenging a book might be, it deserves to be read, discussed, and cherished. When we protect our right to read, we protect our right to learn, grow, and understand each other a little better.
What is your favorite Banned Book? I have a lot of favorites and I'll be sharing about them and other ideas all week long. Let me know what yours are in the comments. I’d love to hear your favorites!
