About

Each year since 1982, librarians, publishers and booksellers have come together to celebrate Banned Books Week. "Banned Books Week - Celebrating the Freedom to Read" reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted.

ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom has an extensive website covering the issues of censorship and how librarians can foster intellectual freedom. The following pages of this wiki are just a few selective links to topics covered more fully on those pages.
