September 30−October 6, 2012. Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom
to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it highlights the
value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week draws national
attention to the harms of censorship. Banned Books Week 2012 marks its 30th
anniversary.
Thousands of participants across
the United States take part in Banned Books Week each year. In 2012 the
Office for Intellectual Freedom delivers the 50 State Salute to Banned Books
Week. It consists of videos
on how each state celebrates the freedom to read. For more information: http://www.ala.org/advocacy/banned/bannedbooksweek.
