Washoe County Library System is celebrating the freedom to read during Banned Books Week, October 1–7. Banned Books Week draws attention to efforts to remove or restrict access to books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. This year’s Banned Books Week theme is “Let Freedom Read.”
Visit a Banned Books Week display at any Washoe County Library. The "What are your neighbors hiding from you?" display at the Spanish Springs Library features several books that have been intentionally damaged or hidden by members of the public in an effort to prevent access. |
