Event: Banned Book Read Out

Join us on Wednesday, Sept.24, at 3 for the 3rd Annual Banned Book Read Out.

Banned Books Week is an annual celebration of the freedom to read, and each year we invite students, faculty and community members to join in the celebration by reading a passage from one of their favorite banned or challenged books at the Banned Book Read Out, an event that highlights the value of free and open access to information.

The Read Out takes place outside the Ernest Gaines Center on the 3rd floor.

The event is free and open to the public.
