Words have power. That’s why they get banned. That’s why we’re celebrating them. No age barrier to censorship. Browse, download and read from our #BannedBooksWeek collection at: kirklees.overdrive.com/collection/1... @indexoncensorship.org @libbyapp.com

From 5–11 October, we’ll be celebrating the books that have been banned, challenged or censored, and celebrating the people who write, publish and share them. We believe everyone deserves the right to read freely. View our curated list of #bannedbooks at: librarian.syndetics.com/syn.../lp/78...
