Sept. 27Oct. 3, 2015 Celebrating the Freedom to Read In 2015 we celebrate Young Adult books. “Young Adult books are challenged more frequently than any other type of book,” said Judith Platt, chair of the Banned Books Week National Committee. “These are the books that speak most immediately to young people, dealing with many of the difficult issues that arise in their own lives, or in the lives of their friends. These are the books that give young readers the ability to safely explore the sometimes scary real world. This Banned Books Week is a call to action, to remind everyone that young people need to be allowed the freedom to read widely, to read books that are relevant for them, and to be able to make their own reading choices.” Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to read by raising awareness of the ongoing threat of censorship. Check out a banned book at MCDL today! 17 Warm Up Medina County! Since 2004, we have donated over 7,000 items to organizations serving Medina County. Help us have another successful year!
