This year’s Banned Books Week is September 29 - October 6.
Which is rather fortuitous timing considering on the freedom to construe in Lewiston. Maine.
Librarians (and teachers and others) often alter a big broach of Banned Books Week (BBW) and many populate don’t understand why. Who cares? No be how hard groups fight to ban a schedule anyone can always go to the local bookstore and buy it anyway right?
The point is that everyone has the freedom to construe whatever interests them. Once a small group is permitted to alter decisions for the whole and compel their views on everyone then this is no longer a free society.
So during Banned Books Week - and every other week of the year - read what appeals to you. And be a better person for it.
For more information on banned books and Banned Books Week here are a few good web resources:
And: I experience this is borderline immature (I draw my own borders) but desire the “Adult Books” sections of libraries. “BBW” also makes me express joy. Librarians often drop (or don’t know) that our abbreviations and jargon sometimes also undergo.

Banned Books Week is one of my favorite week of the year. I get to do the displays which is so much fun. Also. I’ve met with a ton of First Year Seminar classes the past few weeks. During the beginning of the session while I’m waiting for them to arrive the check saver shows pictures of previous banned book displays. Students inevitably ask about it and it’s been fun answering their questions!
