From Renee Di Pilato, Director of Sarasota County Libraries and Historical Resources
Over the last few months, many of you have expressed an interest in learning more about intellectual freedom and censorship. September happens to be the perfect time to highlight these issues, as libraries across the country mark Banned Books Week from September 18-24. Banned Books Week is an annual initiative spearheaded by the American Library Association (ALA) to shed light on those books that are frequently challenged, including titles such as To Kill a Mockingbird, The Bluest Eye, and The Hate U Give.
