Banned Books is an interesting and lively topic! This guide is designed to help you learn more about the banning or censorship of intellectual materials. Below are several books you can find here at the LCC Library.
Be on the lookout for the display this fall! October 1st-7th 2023.
Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to read and spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. For more than 40 years, the annual event has brought together the entire book community — librarians, teachers, booksellers, publishers, writers, journalists, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. Here at LCC, we celebrate this occasion by placing a banned books display.
