In today’s political climate, the issue of banned books is more relevant than ever. Books are being challenged and removed from libraries and schools at an alarming rate, often for addressing critical social issues or presenting diverse perspectives. This “Banned Books” event is an opportunity to stand against censorship and to celebrate the voices that some seek to silence.

Come listen to members of the CWU community read passages from banned books and celebrate intellectual freedom.

Sponsored by Lion Rock Writers Series and CWU Libraries.
