Books unite us. Books encourage boundless exploration and allow readers to spread their wings. Stories give flight to new ideas and perspectives. Reading-especially books that set us free-expands our worldview. Censorship, on the other hand, locks away our freedom and divides us from humanity in our own cages.  Join other Freedom to Read supporters at a rally of support on Sunday, September 25, noon, at Henry Ford Centennial Library, rain or shine!

Banned Books Week (September 18 - 24, 2022) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. It 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.

Unite Against Book Bans is a national initiative to empower readers everywhere to stand together in the fight against censorship.

A recording of the rally is available at the Littlefield Action for Social Justice FaceBook page.
