Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and in 2022 was September 18 – 24. The theme of this year’s event is “Books Unite Us., Censorship Divides Us.” Banned Books Week 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.

In honor of Banned Books Week, a word of support from Judy.
