BANNED BOOKS WEEK - Celebrating the Freedom to Read.
September 25th - October 2nd
Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment.

The books featured during Banned Books Week have been targets of attempted bannings.  Fortunately, while some books were banned or restricted, in a majority of cases the books were not banned, all thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, booksellers, and members of the community to retain the books in the library collections.  Books like these, that have been banned or challenged in past years will be displayed at the library.
The Stickney - Forest View Public Library encourages you to view the display. Most would be book banners act with what they consider to be the highest motives-protecting themselves, their families and communities from perceived injustices and evil and preserving the values and ideals they would have the entire society embrace.
