September 22-28 is Banned Books Week! Did you know that, according to the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF), a record 4,240 unique book titles were targeted for censorship in 2023, a 65% increase over 2022? So far that upward trend appears to be slowing with 1,128 unique titles targeted from January 1 - August 31 of this year. Come see our Banned Books Week display in Waterfield Library featuring ebooks and physical books from our collection that have been challenged or banned.
