Banned Books Week (BBW) is held every year to raise awareness about threats to free speech. This year the Brown Ajah will host an event to celebrate BBW. The event will take place on the Brown Ajah board - hope to see everyone there!

 

Among other things, there will be a book discussion about a banned book - The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Read more about that here, here and here.

 

For more information about Banned Books Week go to ALA's page and the BBW website.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Yes! I'll PM you.

Banned Books Week starts tomorrow in the Brown Ajah.
