Wisconsin Libraries Celebrate Banned Book Week

It’s time to celebrate the work libraries all over the world do to protect free speech, make information available to their communities, and continue the fight against censorship during Banned Books Week!  We love to see and share the ways that Wisconsin libraries are contributing.  Here are just a few highlights:

• Carroll University’s Todd Wehr Memorial Library staff is showing off their favorite banned books
  
• Mount Horeb Public Library is snapping photos of patrons (and former library directors!) caught reading banned books
• UW-La Crosse’s Murphy Library’s local news caught on tape how the library is celebrating the week
• Dane County Library Service is hosting Take It Off the Shelf! featuring Forward Theater Company actors reflecting on banned books.
• Marian University has a banned books display and is hosting a panel, including Cardinal Meyer Library Director Kathryn Johnston, to discuss censorship.  There will also be banned book trivia!

How are you celebrating?  Let us know!
