What You Can Do to Celebrate Your Freedom to Read!


The Following Links Lead to Ideas on How Individuals and Bookstores, Libraries, and Other Organizations Celebrate Their Freedom to Read During ALA’s Banned Books Week:

  • Open Your Mind to a Banned Book

    For 2001 BBW, the Greensboro Public Library in North Carolina published this Banned Books Week notice in its September newsletter to encourage its community and patrons to celebrate their freedom to read. Includes “Parents, Kids and Banned Books: Young Readers Benefit from Guidance, Not Censorship,” a guide for parents to share and participate in their children's reading experiences. (See the PDF link below.)

  • Action Guide, Suggested Activities from Banned Books: 2001 Resource Book

    If you have any ideas for Suggested Activities for Banned Books Week, please send them to Don Wood or Beverley Becker.
