BANNED AND CHALLENGED BOOKLIST
Banned Books Week Read-a-Thon
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
Central Library
Community leaders and library employees will read from their favorite banned
or challenged book to celebrate the freedom to read in America. Each
reader will choose a book from a list of banned
or challenged books drawn from the American
Library Association, as well
as other sources.
The event is supported by Polaris Library Systems. The author visit is made possible in part by a state grant secured by Senator John A. DeFrancisco and support from Solvay High School and North Syracuse High School.
