Banned Books Week 2007


The week of September 29 through October 6, 2007, marks the 26th anniversary of Banned Books Week, ALA's annual celebration of the freedom to read.

We invite you to explore what the week means. Reflect on your freedom to read, cherish it, and, by all means, read what you want to read. As the author of Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury, said, "You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."

Here are some suggestions to help you celebrate the week. We hope one is a good fit for you. If you can think of other ways to celebrate the week, please share them at oif@ala.org. Your ideas may inspire others!
