About Banned Books Week:
Observed during the last week of September each year since 1982,
Banned Books Week reminds Americans not to take their right to
free speech for granted. This celebration honors the freedom to
express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered
unorthodox or unpopular, stressing the importance of ensuring
the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to
all who wish to read them.
