Banned Books Week

The American Library Association's Banned Books Week starts today and goes through October 2nd. Banned Books week celebrates the universal right to read and brings attention to issues of censorship. Every year, books continue to be challenged in libraries and schools across the country for a variety of different reasons. Here at the Solon Library, we have made a display near the entrance that includes an assortment of some of the most challenged titles. There is a shelf devoted to children's books, young adult books, and adult titles. Come to the library and see the display, grab a bookmark, and check out a banned book to take home and read.
