Celebrate with DePaul University Library during Banned Books Week which will be held September 22-28, 2019. The theme of this year’s event proclaims “Censorship Leaves Us In the Dark,” urging everyone to “Keep the Light On.” Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read, bringing together the entire book community -- librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.
Join us at the John T. Richardson Library on Friday, September 27th from 1-2:30 pm for “Books on the Chopping Block” with City Lit Theater Company as they read selections from the top 11 most challenged books of 2018 as compiled by the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF).Where
