Please join us on Wednesday, September 24, at 3:00 for Dupré Library’s third 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 our Banned Book Read Out, an event that highlights the value of free and open access to information.
