“The Banned Books Week Coalition is an international alliance of diverse organizations
joined by a commitment to increase awareness of the annual celebration of the freedom
to read. The Coalition seeks to engage various communities and inspire participation
in Banned Books Week through education, advocacy, and the creation of programming
about the problem of book censorship. Books unite us. Books encourage boundless exploration
and allow readers to spread their wings. Stories give flight to new ideas and perspectives.
Reading—especially books that set us free—expands our worldview. Censorship, on the
other hand, locks away our freedom and divides us from humanity in our own cages.” (https://bannedbooksweek.org/)
This event will include selected readings from banned books along with discussion
protocols empowering attendees to think critically about the books being banned and
why. During the event, leaders will have trivia questions provided by https://bannedbooksweek.org, and hand out door prizes provided by the College of Education and the Writing Center.
Attendees will experience a gallery walk, discussing and analyzing from a list of
banned books. All attendees will take home one book.
