Sept. 18-24 is Banned Books Week!
Halloween is approaching, and although all of us love being scared, there is nothing to love about the scary rate at which books are being banned across the nation. Check out the Memphis Public Library's Censorship by the Numbers page that provides in-depth information regarding who initiates book bans and the top challenged books of 2021. Thanks to the Memphis Public Library and Nashville Public Library for standing against this movement and supporting our freedom to read!
