Banned Books Week Kicks Off Saturday  Beginning
this Saturday and lasting through October 2nd, 2010, the ALA
and partners are sponsoring Banned
Books Week (BBW), an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the
importance of the First Amendment. Intellectual freedom—the
freedom to access information and express ideas—provides the
foundation for this event. The
books featured during BBW have been targets of attempted
bannings.
If you choose to join the ALA in this celebration, they have several resources to help you get started, including a comprehensive press kit, lists of books banned or challenged in the past year, and a list of BBW events held throughout the nation. For more information on getting involved with Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read, please see these Ideas and Resources from the ALA. You can also contact the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom at 1-800-545-2433, ext. 4220, or bbw@ala.org. State Library Welcomes New Employees
